Summary

Een vaste, leuke afspraak in de week geeft iets om naar uit te kijken!

Detailed description

Do you have a few hours a week for someone in need of a buddy? Some people hardly leave the house due to circumstances, but would love to. A buddy to talk to and to undertake activities together 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 home, for example because of a mental illness, disability, chronic illness and / or old age. It helps if you undertake activities together that make you both feel good. This can be anything, such as a walk (you), to the market, a cup of coffee with a good conversation, shopping, sports or even to the museum, a garden center or a movie. You meet on a fixed part of the day per week or two weeks or at a different time. You intend to stay buddy for some time, so that it does not stop or change for the other person soon.

Job requirements:

- you are open-minded, you are not quick to judge - you can listen carefully - you can take initiative and especially let the other take the initiative - you inspire, encourage, but do not direct

What do you have to offer the volunteer ?:

- linking to a participant with whom it clicks - expert guidance and support - an enthusiastic volunteer team - mutual exchange of experiences - internal training, team consultation and meeting meetings

What makes the work worthwhile ?:

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 gives you both pleasure and satisfaction. Contact with the participant also enriches your own life.

Working time:

by mutual agreement
