You will receive a response as soon as possible. Do you have a question first? Then send a message. Experiences of our volunteers Karina: "In my work as a nurse, I regularly gave unsolicited advice. Now that I provide support to a family as a volunteer, I know that this often does not work. By taking the time and listening carefully, a bond is created and it becomes clear what the family really needs. I find it fun and special to visit a family at home and help them along the way and also do fun things together with the children. A father told me that he had gained more self-confidence. Nice to hear”. Anita: “Experiencing a reunion between parent and child feels like a beach moment in slow motion” Monica: “I had just started at Humanitas when they asked me if I wanted to guide Marieke’s children. I was shocked when I heard that she had not seen her children for more than 5 months at that time. Heartbreaking. For Marieke as a mother, but especially for the children. I am a child of divorced parents myself. And I know from my own experience what it does to you when you can no longer or are not allowed to see one of your parents. Many parents make the mistake of using their children as a chess piece in mutual arguments. What many parents do not know is that the anger at the ex-partner is unconsciously projected onto the child. After all, they ARE part dad and part mom. And I haven't even mentioned the conflict of loyalty that these children have."

Kind aan Huis is looking for families in Tiel and surrounding areas

Weekly · 4 to 8 hours

Child at home in Tiel You want children to grow up in a pleasant environment. Sometimes there are tensions within the family or there is little attention, for example due to illness, poverty, social isolation or divorce. Then it can be nice that, as a child, you can be in a different environment once a week, with a different family. An environment where you can be a carefree child and feel welcome; “At home in another house.” Not having to care for your child for a while can also bring peace and space for parents. Kind aan Huis is a program in which volunteer home families open their homes and hearts for half a day every week to children/young people (0-18 years) from the municipality of Tiel. They offer the child a safe place and, if necessary, give the parent(s) of the requesting family some peace and space. The home family is therefore a valuable support for both the questioning parent(s) and the child. Home families of all compositions and ages can register! The home families are involved and empathetic. They understand that sometimes a small change of environment can make a big difference. Contact between the home family and the requesting family is made on the basis of equality and trust. How does Kind aan Huis work? • After registration, the coordinator will meet the requesting and home families. • The coordinator looks for the right connection. • Humanitas applies for a Certificate of Good Conduct for all family members of the home family, aged 18 years and older. • The families meet with the coordinator present. • Agreements are made about the connection. • The coordinator supervises the connection, which means that she is available for questions or if there is anything. • The child participates in the home family, receives positive attention and participates in everyday activities. • This concerns temporary shelter, one half day per week for a period of one year. • Home families receive training and guidance from the project coordinators. Are you interested or would you like to know more? Call, text or email the project coordinators: [email address hidden] Sonja van Herk [phone number hidden] Ingrid Veerman [phone number hidden]

Measure to Measure

Project · weekly 1 to 2 hours

Do you think it would be a great challenge to help someone overcome loneliness? As a volunteer at Maatje op Maat, you support someone for about a year in realizing a change wish. Together you set an achievable goal. Perhaps that means restoring old contacts or establishing new ones. Or perhaps it is about finding a suitable hobby or activity to undertake together with others. You follow the participant's pace, but do not hesitate to stimulate the participant where this seems necessary. You may see or speak to each other every week, but sometimes once every two weeks is enough. Sometimes you go out together, other times you offer a listening ear. Who are you? - You have a positive and open attitude, you make contact easily. - You focus on the participant's possibilities, not on the problems and limitations. - You enjoy motivating someone, but you can also direct someone. - You are available for at least 1 year for 2 hours a week, or every other week. - You live in Utrecht or the surrounding area. What do we offer? - We make a careful match; we will match you with a participant who suits you well. - We offer guidance and (online) training. - Reimbursement of any transport costs. - Meaningful and rewarding volunteer work where you can make a big difference for someone.

Caps for guide dogs for the blind

Once · 0 to 1 hours

KNGF geleidehonden

Did you know that plastic caps can be valuable? At least for us at KNGF Guide Dogs. We receive compensation for every kilogram of caps collected. So instead of throwing away the caps from soft drinks and milk cartons, why not hand them in at one of our collection points? By doing so, you're not only supporting the training of our guide dogs, but also helping to protect the environment. Together, all the caps collected have generated tens of thousands of euros. Here's how it works: Step 1: Send us a message expressing your interest in participating, and we'll provide you with all the necessary information. Step 2: Collect as many caps as possible! Step 3: Drop off the caps at a collection point near you. That's it! You've made a significant impact, benefiting both the guide dogs and the environment. It's a win-win situation! Thank you very much for your support, and good luck with your collection efforts! #challenge

Donate your old sleeping bag for the homeless

Once · 1 to 1 hours

Tens of thousands of people will sleep in the cold tonight. Donate old sleeping bags and help the homeless through the night! Sheltersuit turns it into a wind and waterproof jacket with a zip-on sleeping bag, for anyone who is forced to sleep outside. ⚡ You will do this Every sleeping bag counts when you're literally out in the cold. So clean up your attic and that of others and collect all old sleeping bags. You can donate these at all Het Goed thrift stores in your area. Note: not every sleeping bag is usable. These are good: • Synthetic thick and thin sleeping bags; • Preferably washed and should be of somewhat good looking; • The zipper may be broken; • The liner must not be broken; • Down/wool sleeping bags cannot be donated, unfortunately. You can hand in your old sleeping bags with every acceptance of goods at one of the 28 thrift stores of Het Goed. 🌙 For this you make all the difference Sheltersuit helps homeless people and refugees who are forced to sleep outside. Due to the increasing demand from aid organizations at home and abroad, no less than 16,500 sleeping bags are needed. By handing in a sleeping bag to Het Goed you make it possible that our social workshops can continue to make Sheltersuits and thus create permanent work. Will you lend a hand? You really make a difference with it and it also makes your attic happy. Thank you in advance!

Do you also think it is important that everyone can 'roll out the door'? Then help with this Wheelmap challenge, where you map out where that is possible (or not). 🦽 Why is this important Going to the toilet, a shop, restaurant, event or even just crossing the street... it is not obvious or even possible for everyone.

Those literal thresholds are a great shame: we can prevent them together. 📍What can you do The Wheelmap app maps which places are accessible, or not. This way, users of the app know where they can go and which (or how) to avoid. You can help by updating the Wheelmap app. That is super easy: take a walk and log what is not accessible. Super simple! click on 'I'm participating' so that we know that you want to take on the challenge. Then we will also send you the information on how it works. Good luck and thank you!

Donate bicycles for the children's bicycle plan

Once · 0 to 1 hours

ANWB

Do you, like the ANWB, think it is important that every child in the Netherlands has access to a bicycle? Then we could really use your help. Donate a bicycle or use your own network to collect bicycles. Organize a collection campaign at school, work, sports club or neighborhood association. Annoying? No not really! An action is in an instant. Why? Unfortunately, having their own bicycle is not a given for every child. Not all parents can afford a bicycle for their child. This forces children to stand still. Literal. Having a bicycle is necessary to participate. It expands a child's world in ways you can't imagine. Collecting is done in no time ✅ Participate?
