Dutch team supports NLvoorelkaar
With a contribution and a social video, Orange offers its support to the volunteer platform
No one can do everything alone, only together you can do everything. Only good cooperation leads to good results. The selection of the Dutch national team proves this on the field, but also outside the lines. Because they think it is important that the Dutch can help each other right now, and the selection is impressed by all the great connections that come about through NLvoorelkaar, they have decided to contribute to the largest volunteer platform in the Netherlands.
Virgil van Dijk: “The player group of the Dutch national team is proud of the Netherlands, proud of the team and thinking of everyone who is having a hard time at this time. With a donation to NLvoorelkaar, we as Orange want to make a contribution. Keep your head up and take care of each other.”
Players of the Orange selection, including captain Virgil van Dijk, shared this social video today to support NL (for each other).
Jeroen de Punder, director NLvoorelkaar: “We believe that everyone has the potential to mean something to someone else. NLvoorelkaar helps turn this potential into action. With this special support from the Dutch national team, we can make even more and even better matches and thus help more people.”
Football clubs also contribute
Several Dutch Eredivisie clubs have started their own 'corona help platform' in recent days. Together with NLvoorelkaar they encourage their supporters to help each other where possible. Feyenoord , PSV , Vitesse , NAC Breda and RKC Waalwijk , among others, and soon also the Eredivisie itself, facilitate the opportunity to ask for help or help someone else.
NLvoorelkaar
NLvoorelkaar's platform acts as a safe, online marketplace for volunteer initiatives, social organizations and people who independently request help. From shopping help, video calling or walking the dog to social media campaigns for charities. The smart matching system automatically sends you a message when there is a new supply or demand in your area. Offering corona help via the platform was embraced en masse. 69 municipalities are already participating and more than 78,000 people offer (corona) help. The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport also supports NLvoorelkaar.
