Join us during the Night of the RefugeeNLvoorelkaarCan you imagine it? That you have to leave everything behind from one day to the next? And flee headlong with your family, your neighbors or sometimes all alone to a destination that is still unknown?💔 Never before have so many people fled war, conflict and oppression. By participating in the Night of the Refugee, you commit yourself to them: you draw attention to their stories in a positive way and have your kilometers sponsored. The more money you raise, the more emergency aid we can provide together!!💪🏼 During the 2023 edition with no fewer than 5,500 participants, more than 1.3 million euros was raised! A fantastic amount! This allowed the Refugee Foundation to give Sudanese refugees, among others, access to clean (drinking) water and sanitary facilities. They also provided emergency aid packages for people who had to flee the earthquake in Turkey and Syria and supported them with, among other things, nutrition in Ethiopia and Burkina Faso.Are you also participating this year? Register individually, with your family, friends, sports club, company or school.Click on 'I'm participating' so that we can explain to you how you can participate!15-06-2024 and 1 moreYoung peopleChallenge(small) groups

Become a volunteer at Grandma's Soep!We are Oma's Soep, a fast-growing social enterprise that combats loneliness among the elderly by bringing young and old together. We do this by organizing old-fashioned fun cooking days, visiting lonely elderly people in the neighborhood and by organizing extraordinary events. We finance all of this by selling our fresh and healthy soups and meals in food service and retail.We are now active in 12+ cities and visit more than a thousand elderly people throughout the Netherlands every week. Our goal is to make as many elderly people happy as possible and you can help us with that! We currently organize two types of activities throughout the Netherlands every week.Cooking daysThe Grandma's Soup Cooking Days are always about fun and enjoyment. It is a unique combination to make delicious soups together with young and old. During the Cooking Days, vegetables that would otherwise be thrown away are used. The Cooking Days are organized at various locations and participation takes approximately 3 hours. An afternoon full of board games, tall stories, even more jokes and of course delicious soup!Soup-at-home daysWith the Soep-at-home days we reach the elderly who need company the most. We reach a large group of vulnerable elderly people through local GPs, physiotherapists, the supermarket around the corner and many other supporters. Every week we deliver packages full of our delicious soup, a motivating card and a surprise to the home of the elderly in your area. Take a moment to have a cup of coffee with your neighbor, take a walk or do something together. The Soup-at-home day is organized weekly from a fixed location and participation takes approximately 2-3 hours. Your smile, pleasant chat or short moment of contact can make a world of difference for our elderly.Everyone is welcome at Oma's Soep and participation is free for both volunteers and the elderly. Register by visiting our website for your city for current dates, times and locations.NEW! Grandma's Pen/Call FriendIn addition to our weekly activities throughout the Netherlands, we now also bring young and old into contact with each other to become Pen or Call Friends. This means that volunteers and elderly people occasionally send each other a card/letter or call each other, creating a personal bond. In this way we combat loneliness on an even larger scale and at a deeper level. Are you participating?

Looking for a buddy for people with dementiaHulpdienst NijmegenDo you sometimes forget something? Looking for a buddy for people with dementia!Dementia hits! You can make a difference by making contact, being there, listening and supporting. Will you become a volunteer for someone with dementia?You visit someone with dementia about once a week or 2 weeks, for a cup of coffee and a chat, a game, a walk, a ride in the car, or to run an errand together. This provides structure to the week, provides a nice distraction and usually also relieves the burden on the informal caregiver (partner or children). Because your arrival allows an informal caregiver to take some time for themselves. What we ask for is good communication skills and a healthy dose of patience.What does the Nijmegen Emergency Service have to offer the volunteer?:– pleasant and appropriate contact with a client;– space to discuss together what suits you and what does not;– coordination by professional employees, where short lines and personal contact are paramount;– A (theme) meeting and an outing 2 to 3 times a year (on a non-binding basis);What makes the work worth it?:We have been helping people in difficult circ*mstances since 1959. A few hours a week are usually enough to get someone out of isolation, provide distraction and give the informal caregiver some breathing space so that people can continue to live at home for as long as possible.Are you interested? Let us know, we would love to get in touch with you.Regularly
