Mantelzorg & Meer is looking for enthusiastic volunteers with big hearts to support informal caregivers in their homes. This is a one-on-one role.

Family caregivers look after their loved ones day and night and often don’t take time for themselves. You can make a difference by giving them some much-needed breathing room. In doing so, you’re also making a valuable contribution to society. Whether you enjoy having conversations, going for walks, are athletic, or are good with children, there’s always a suitable volunteer role for you, such as:

  • Visit or go out with someone who has a chronic illness, dementia, or a disability. You make a difference.
  • Are you active and do you enjoy the outdoors? Go for a walk once a week with someone who can’t do this on their own. You’ll help them get some exercise and fresh air, which has a positive effect on their well-being.
  • Give a child with a disability a wonderful day. By doing fun activities together, you give the child the chance to have fun and shine.

You’ll receive guidance from the volunteer coordinator and be offered workshops. Travel expenses will be reimbursed. Sign up and help informal caregivers take a moment for themselves. Together, we can make our community a better place.
