Arjan likes going to the gym and boxing, but he can't do this alone due to his mental disability
Who is Arjan?
Arjan is a 49-year-old man with a mild intellectual disability. He lives in a residential group on the grounds of 's Heeren Loo. He is a sensitive man who would like to be independent, but is not always able to do so. His interests lie in electricity, sports and watching TV. On Wednesdays from 6 pm to 7 pm he works out in the Fit for Free gym and on Thursdays from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm in the gym on Gentiaanstraat. His sister-in-law works here. Arjan cannot go to the gym independently because he gets too many stimuli, causing him to experience restlessness. Sometimes when the emotion is running high, he may scream and curse. He can clearly tell what is bothering him. Of course the volunteer receives guidance in how to deal with this. He likes it when he is accompanied during sports by someone who also participates in sports. He enjoys this 1 on 1 contact. He would love it if he could do this with a volunteer.
What does Arjan ask?
Arjan is looking for a buddy who wants to work out with him and guide him here. Someone who tries to understand him. It's difficult if you want to be independent, but you really aren't. Someone who likes sports, but also likes to do something for someone else. If you are interested, but can't make it on these days, please respond! Another day or time may also be possible.
