Maatjes Apeldoorn pairs a buddy with a participant who could use some help. The buddy contact lasts a maximum of one year and is aimed at development.

What are you going to do?

  • You will meet 1 to 2 hours per week with a participant who needs constructive contact.
  • For example, you are there for someone who is dealing with physical or mental setbacks or is feeling lonely
  • You undertake activities together based on shared interests and talents
  • You are there for the other person for 1 year, offer a listening ear, give the feeling that you are not alone and help him or her on their way

Getting there

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.
