Summary

Someone who occasionally comes for Bert for an hour is very valuable

Detailed description

Who is Bert?

Bert is a 76-year-old man with a severe intellectual disability. He lives in a residential group at the residential care park of 's Heeren Loo, where he receives 24-hour care. Bert cannot speak, but he does indicate what he likes and does not like. He is in a wheelchair and cannot walk. Bert likes coziness and commotion around him. He himself takes few initiatives, but he is a real enjoyer and often looks satisfied. He is clearly a bit older and requires an adjusted pace. He enjoys coffee with a slice of cake, nice walks outside, riding our wheelchair bike or going to church at our residential care park. As long as it is cozy!

Bert can really enjoy small moments. He takes your hand and makes eye contact with you. He is easily satisfied.

What is Bert asking?

We are looking for a buddy for Bert. Someone who can make an hour especially for him to take a walk, go for a ride on the wheelchair bike, go to our Brasserie, the Intratuin or go to church with us. Bert has day care in the morning, so the afternoon would be best. This can be during the week or in the weekend. Everything is welcome in consultation. Someone who doesn't mind that Bert doesn't talk, but enjoys when he enjoys in silence. The frequency, day and time are in consultation. Do you have an hour to spare?

We offer you

  • A nice volunteer position
  • An end of year gift
  • Insured for third party liability and accidents
  • Travel expenses reimbursement
  • Annual volunteer party as a thank you for your efforts
