About Maatjes Apeldoorn

Maatjes Apeldoorn is a matchmaker. We are always looking for the perfect match between people who want to support a fellow citizen and Apeldoorn residents who can really use their help. Some duos go for a walk or do sports to clear their minds. Other participants are helped by their buddy to expand their social network or the Dutch language. You read that right: a buddy is not used to do fun things alone. Fun and personal contact are the priority - always.
