Tandem cyclist wanted!
Weekly · 3 to 4 hours
De Wever
Do you also like cycling? Several clients have indicated that they would like to regularly make a bike ride on a tandem bike. Would you like to accompany (one of) them?
There is a lady living at the Koningsvoorde location who would really like to have a buddy so she can go outside in her wheelchair on Wednesday afternoon or Friday afternoon...... Or if the weather is reasonable, we can sit outside together on the terrace of to sit in the Brasserie, have a chat, etc. In short, this woman needs company and some personal attention. The lady is very deaf, so talking to each other for a long time is too tiring for her and perhaps for you too!, but just being together for a while, apart from her husband, would do them both good! SO if you have an hour or two hours every week, you could be a welcome addition to this resident's life! Interest; please contact Anke, free. coordinator.

Do you also like cycling? Several clients have indicated that they would like to regularly make a bike ride on a tandem bike. Would you like to accompany (one of) them?
The residents of Koningsvoorde like to go outside and certainly with the duo bike. You can then go a bit further than with walking; such as the Leypark and / or the Wandelbos and then you experience 'being outside' even more!. We are looking for someone who would like to do this with alternating, per week, with 2 or 3 residents. You then sit together on an electrically assisted bicycle and one resident wants to cycle along and the other does not and that is fine for both!. So are you interested in this or do you want to try it out or is it something you can do and like, then report to the volunteer coordinator Anke Verdijk.
For a sister in a wheelchair, I am looking for someone who would like to go outside with her at a fixed time. The Sister is not a heavy person so it is not a "tough task", she is also very approachable so with bad weather it would be nice if you could have a cup of coffee or tea together in the restaurant.....but she prefers to be outside!. So if you have a good half hour to 1.5 hours (preferably in the afternoon and preferably not on Friday afternoon!) then you are more than welcome and then register with the volunteer coordinator Anke Verdijk
On Friday morning we want to organize a sports/game morning for the residents of Koningsvoorde from 10 to 11.30. The intention is to offer various activities and that the residents can also participate in multiple activities. We want to do this with a welfare employee, 2 interns and are still looking for a volunteer! If you have time on Friday morning from 9.30 to 12 and you have an affinity with the elderly and sports and game activities (think of indoor low net volleyball, ring throwing, indoor jeu de boules etc.) then report to the volunteer coordinator Anke Verdijk
De Bijsterstede is located a stone's throw from the center, in the heart of the Besterd. Neighbors, young and old, meet here in one building. Here, in addition to the residential care center, there is also a community building and primary school. At De Bijsterstede we find homeliness and cosiness very important. De Bijsterstede shares a large square with the Het Spoor community center and De Stappen primary school. We regularly organize joint activities and everyone can participate in each other's activities. There is a lot of involvement with the neighborhood and this makes the area really lively and cozy. We are diligently looking for enthusiasts who can keep up with our garden. Are you this gardener with a green thumb and do you enjoy spending hours with your hands in the soil? Then you are very suitable as a garden volunteer! You can then indulge your passion for gardening in our garden. This way you can let our residents enjoy their old age in a new day in the garden! The garden tools are available and you can fill in your time to maintain our garden as you wish. We look forward to meeting you.

In relative terms, the Netherlands has the largest number of self-employed persons without employees in the world. Of course, these are not just success stories. Over Rood is a volunteer organization that has been helping self-employed persons and small entrepreneurs to regain overview and insight into their finances for almost 10 years (divided over 15 branches). Not by taking over the problems, but by coaching and working together. A lot is happening in the Netherlands at the moment. The bills and perhaps even the arrears add up quickly. People worry about the future and sometimes consider quitting self-employment. The expectations are gloomy, but Over Rood is ready for the developments. For various locations throughout the Netherlands we are looking for: Volunteers (minimum 4 hours per week) What are you going to do? You guide freelancers in going through a trajectory within Over Rood. The objective of each process is that the client can get to work himself to solve his problems and to work towards a financially healthy future. As a volunteer you share your knowledge and experience with your client and you help to gain structure and overview. You help make difficult choices. You act as a sparring partner. Brings in your knowledge and skills and offers a listening ear. No route is the same. Sometimes the request for help is purely financial-administrative, while at other times advice about business operations makes the difference. You get entrepreneurs out of a negative spiral and help them pick up the thread again. On average you will guide 5 to 10 clients per year with a time commitment of at least 4 hours per week. This is an unpaid position, expenses are (more than) reimbursed. You report directly to the branch manager. What is the profile of a volunteer at Over Rood? Empathetic, unbiased and approachable are Over Rood's core values. We have this in common with our volunteers. As a volunteer you use your knowledge and extensive experience, for example as an independent entrepreneur, director, operational manager or manager in the guidance process. You enjoy sharing your knowledge and experience with people who will benefit greatly from it and you find it a challenge to empower people. In addition, you have the understanding and patience needed to adapt to the pace of the client. You have HBO/University working and thinking level. Knowledge of and experience with managing/coaching/directing (groups of) people. You are empathetic and can empathize with the problems, mental situation and living conditions of clients, without becoming emotionally involved. Demonstrable experience or familiarity with the tricks of the trade when running your own business. Excellent command of the Dutch language in word and writing is a requirement. Important skills: • Being able to listen, summarize and signal well • Structuring, organizing and planning • You can assess a business plan and financial plan • You have basic knowledge of administration and basic knowledge of marketing and sales • You get along well with Excel and find your way on the internet • You have knowledge of different tax types (IB, VAT, Vpb) What do you get in return? Room to make a socially relevant contribution with your knowledge and experience. Appreciation of clients and satisfaction in your work. You make a valuable contribution to the Dutch economy and a healthy business climate, which also offers support in difficult times. Independent work with very good support from the organization where you can determine your own times. Socially involved colleagues who, just like you, use their knowledge, experience and strength to really make a difference for our clients. A solid and instructive internal training. Do you recognize yourself in the above profile? Then we are very curious about you!
Shahed (17) would like to complete HAVO. Will you help her with Dutch? Thanks to the help of another homeschooling buddy, Shahed was able to complete her VMBO with good grades. Now she is in 4 Havo and can use some extra support again. She is looking for an online TOMaatje who wants to help her successfully complete high school. Do you want to help someone realize her potential? We are looking for a volunteer for Shahed who: - Want to teach online once a week. - Has a good command of the Dutch language. - Is not afraid of the upper secondary school material to ensure that you can make good agreements. In consultation, you agree on a time during the week when you can provide online support. After that, it's time to have fun contact with each other and, above all, do a lot of homework together. How do we support you? You will receive guidance from TOMaatjes at the start, with tips for lesson content and access to the community with other TOMaatjes in it. Every 1-2 months there is an online intervision with lectures from professionals or you can discuss in groups how you can get more out of the tutoring. What do I need for it? - Be open to another culture. - Before you can start, we will request a Certificate of Good Conduct for you free of charge. Once it has arrived, you can start as soon as possible. - Want to help with everything that is covered in the upper years of HAVO. Being a homeschooling buddy is truly a very rewarding task. It starts with tutoring, but many of our volunteers really build a bond with the family where they work. Shahed's previous TOMaatje wrote this about her: "Until last summer holidays, I (as TOMaatje) guided a Syrian girl for 3 years, during which she transitioned from framework to theoretical, with the end result being a T-diploma with an average above 7. A wonderful result that gives me great satisfaction. left, and she can still fall back on me. My reward was her facial expression and that of her parents when I unexpectedly appeared at the graduation ceremony." We hope to welcome you soon if TOMaatje for Shahed or one of the many other children could use help.
