Support & Coach? Become a Buddy!
Everyone has a period when things are not going so well in their life. You get sick, fall into a hole, can't see the sun anymore. Then a buddy offers a solution. For 1 year you spend time with someone. Based on a bond of trust and being present, you and your participant explore new possibilities for him or her. Maatjes Apeldoorn is a matchmaker. Time and again we look for the perfect match between people who want to support a fellow citizen and Apeldoorn residents who can really use their help. Some duos go for a walk or do sports to clear their minds. Other participants are helped by their buddy to expand their social network or the Dutch language. You read that right: a buddy is not used to do fun things alone. Fun and personal contact are paramount - always.
