Detailed description
For years, De Hofstede has been a lively place to meet neighbors in Velserbroek. Every week, approximately 780 people (from the neighboring apartments, residents of Velserbroek, Santpoort, Driehuis, IJmuiden and even Haarlem-Noord) find us to participate in numerous activities such as billiards, klaverjassen, bridge, patchwork, jeu de boules, a variety of workshops, High Teas and the like, or they join in the meals that are provided on various days of the week. In addition, numerous events are organized, such as bingo afternoons, music performances, but also our annual Herring Party and Garden Barbecue.
In order to continue to organize and administer all of this, a well-functioning secretariat is of course a first requirement.
Wanted: What we are looking for is an enthusiastic, conscientious volunteer who can provide support (possibly part-time), develop initiatives and be a point of contact for the many visitors, the coordinators of the various activities and the other volunteers of De Hofstede. He/she works closely with the volunteer managers and administratively with the secretary of De Hofstede.

About Stichting Wijk en Senioren Centrum De Hofstede
As a Community and Senior Center, “De Hofstede” offers the potential for a community and activity center for the elderly and residents of Velserbroek that partly builds on the current activity program, but that has also taken a new direction since January 1, 2024 in terms of a coherent and appealing offer for and by the elderly in De Hofstede and in the surrounding neighborhoods.
The aim is for De Hofstede to increasingly contribute to supporting the elderly to maintain their own control and to be able to continue living independently for as long as possible. Promoting social cohesion and strengthening cooperation between informal and formal care and welfare are important points of attention, with the motto: 'Care for each other and care with each other'.
The Community and Senior Center De Hofstede is connected to 151 senior homes of Velison Wonen. The residents of these homes, as well as users from the surrounding neighborhoods in Velserbroek and the coordinators/volunteers of the activities are the users of De Hofstede. Currently, approximately 780 people visit the Community and Senior Center every week, and are supported during activities and served in the center by approximately 70 volunteers.
