A buddy for someone who barely leaves the house

Some people hardly leave the house anymore due to circumstances, but they would love to. A buddy to talk to and do activities with means a lot. Do you want to be that buddy? We ensure a good match.

Job description:

There are all kinds of reasons why someone hardly leaves the house, for example due to a mental illness, disability, chronic illness and/or old age. It helps if you do activities together that you both feel good about. This could be anything, such as a walk, to the market, a cup of coffee with a good conversation, shopping, exercising or going to the museum, a garden center or to the movies. You agree on a fixed half day per week or two weeks or at a varying time. You intend to remain a buddy for a while, so that things don't end or change for the other person soon.

Job requirements:

- you are open-minded, do not judge easily - you are a good listener - you can take initiative and, above all, let others take initiative - you enthuse, encourage, but do not direct

What do you have to offer the volunteer?:

- link to a participant with whom you click - expert guidance and support - an enthusiastic volunteer team - mutual exchange of experiences - internal training, team consultations and meeting meetings

What makes the work worth it?:

As a buddy you really make a difference for a fellow human being. Together you do fun, positive things that the participant needs and that you both get pleasure from and satisfaction from. Contact with the participant also enriches your own life.
