Detailed description

Mrs. 77 years old needs to go outside more. Who wants to take her for a walk every week?


Wageningen woman does not dare to walk alone because of osteoarthritis in her knees. She is looking for a buddy to build up walking together again. She walks in and out with a walker.

Mrs. also has a wheelchair that can be taken in a car. It is therefore also possible to go somewhere with the car.

She prefers a female buddy and would prefer to meet in the afternoon, but not on Thursday.


Job requirements:

- you are a good listener

- you can take initiative and especially let the other take the initiative

- expert guidance and support

- an enthusiastic volunteer team

As a buddy you really make a difference for a fellow human being. Together you do fun, positive things, which the participant needs and from which you both get pleasure and satisfaction. The contact with the participant is also an enrichment for your own life.
