Hang out with someone who feels lonely

We ask a volunteer for a listening ear, attention, and your personal commitment in the broadest sense of the word. Think of cycling, walking, a cup of coffee, maybe rolling up your sleeves, playing a game. Any form of attention can be meaningful. People from the most diverse backgrounds call on us. Think of loneliness due to the loss of a family member, partner or deterioration of health, old age, loss of work, but also simply lonely because you can no longer easily participate in society. Having (usually) weekly contact means that there is something to look forward to. Then you feel seen and the day takes on color and meaning again. We find it very important to make the right match between you and the client. In addition to ensuring a good match, people can also participate in an activity a few times a year. Think of a New Year's moment, a fun outing, an afternoon in a beautiful garden, a Sinterklaas activity. You can also participate in this or help out, if that appeals to you. As a volunteer at Present in Vriendschap you are never alone. We have been around for over 7 years now and have built up a lot of experience. Several times a year we organize a pleasant but also substantive afternoon for the volunteers. Together with a professional, many important topics will be discussed. There are now about 90 people who call on us and we are happy with more than 40 volunteers who visit the people. You can read more about the ins and outs on our website. See also the newsletter. If you would like to know more or be involved, please send a message and we will make an appointment to get to know you. Betsie

Looking for a listening ear

Weekly · 4 to 4 hours
De Luisterlijn

A NEW TRAINING STARTS ON JANUARY 30! How open-minded do you listen to your fellow human beings? No one can do without a listening ear. As a volunteer at the Luisterlijn, you offer that listening ear to people with worries, sadness or problems. You are there for the other person by listening, asking questions and organizing thoughts. Do you like to further develop your listening and conversation skills? To expand your world with meaningful volunteer work within a warm and pleasant organization? Then working at the Luisterlijn might be something for you! You will receive intensive training at our location in Breda before you start and have regular supportive meetings with the trainer and your fellow volunteers. Every week you will make two hours free to listen to your fellow human beings. This can be done from your own home or from our location in Breda. By phone or chat. In addition to personal development and wonderful surprising conversations, the Luisterlijn also offers you nice colleagues and fun extras, such as our summer party and theme evenings. This is what our volunteers say about their work: 'Only when you give someone space and suppress your intuition to give advice, people say things to you that they don't say to someone else.' 'The equal, beautiful conversations in which you really connect are a gift to yourself and give you the motivation to do this work voluntarily.' 'I usually close my laptop after a chat service with a warm feeling.' Would you like more information or to register? We would love to meet you! On the Luisterlijn website you can find our contact details and a registration form via "I want to help". We look forward to welcoming you and telling you more about volunteering at Luisterlijn in Breda!
