Swimming buddy wanted for a friendly senior

My father, Piet Klaassen, is looking for a buddy who can accompany him to and from swimming every week. My father lives in Gilze and has had an NAH (non-congenital brain injury) since he was 23 due to an accident, which causes a spasm on his left side and makes it difficult for him to express himself. He likes to go swimming every week to keep his body flexible, he did this at the Flippers in Rijen. Unfortunately, this club has been disbanded and he is looking for a new opportunity to swim. He can go to the Amarant swimming pool (Aquamarant, Bredaseweg 570 in Tilburg) on Mondays from 13:00 to 13:30 or on Thursdays from 12:45 to 13:15. He needs transportation for this and a buddy who wants to help him get changed. My father is a very sociable, sweet and grateful man who likes to be with people.

Vluchtelingenwerk Gilze-Rijen
As soon as refugees arrive in the Netherlands, you take action. You provide them with advice and assistance at the reception location. You provide information, explain how the asylum procedure works, identify problems and work on solutions where possible. Because you have a lot of patience and a listening ear, refugees quickly feel safe and secure. You clearly explain what the role of VluchtelingenWerk is and when they can come to the consultation hour. You also help map out the flight story, with the central question being why someone is applying for asylum. Furthermore, you ensure that the first step towards family reunification is taken. This is not only important for refugees but also complicated. It also happens that you provide legal guidance to asylum seekers who are sent back. If it suits you, you can help organize activities for the children and young people staying at the reception location.

KiaK Kinderactiviteiten
KiaK is looking for volunteers for one of our biggest activities: KiaK Carnival! KiaK Carnival is an annual event for primary school children from group 5 to 8 and first-year students on Saturday evening to Tuesday evening during carnival. During these evenings, volunteers are needed as pacemakers on the dance floor, as crew for the candy and limo bar, or to supervise here and there. Volunteers must be 16 years or older. As a volunteer, you can still celebrate carnival yourself that same evening (after 22:00), then you are already warmed up and dancing! Volunteering at KiaK is not only for the happy children's faces, but also for yourself! The mutual conviviality between the volunteers is of paramount importance, with time for a drink together afterwards. If you are interested in helping as a volunteer at KiaK Carnival, you can indicate this via this vacancy or by sending an email to [email address hidden].

Dear all, After living in a small apartment with my son for 5 years, the time has finally come: we are moving! Together with my boyfriend and son, we have bought our first house, and we are so happy and grateful for this new step. Fortunately, the house is ready to move in, but the garden really needs a major overhaul. All the plants and grass have to go, so that we can make something beautiful out of it. My boyfriend would like to help, but due to an injury to his arm, he cannot put too much strain on his arm. That is why we are looking for kind people who want to help us get this job done. Do you have the time and feel like lending us a hand? We would be very happy! Let us know, and of course we will provide something tasty and lots of fun. Thank you very much in advance!

projectgroep ‘80 jaar Vrijheid’
On Sunday 23 March, the project group 80 years of Freedom Gilze and Rijen is organising a unique 4 core freedom run. With this one-off run, we are connecting the four cores of our municipality to each other to create a beautiful course. Due to the length of this run (19 km), many traffic wardens are needed to ensure that everything runs safely. For this, we are looking for volunteers who want to support us in this. If you register, you will be at a post along the route where you will see a large group of residents of our municipality passing by during the day, hopefully in a great mood. You will help the participants in the run to complete the entire route safely. We will provide you with the necessary explanations during an instruction evening or via an online course, so that you are aware of what is expected of you. Of course, we will also provide you with something to drink and a packed lunch. The first run starts at 11:00 and we will close the course at 16:00. If you care about freedom, sign up and help us make the freedom run a success. For more information, visit [website hidden]
