Help as a volunteer by offering your company

Going out together in Rotterdam is much more fun, isn't it?!

Do you enjoy getting a breath of fresh air or cooking together? Then get in touch with someone who is also looking for company. This can vary from a walk through the woods, a visit to the cinema or theater, or drinking a cup of coffee at someone's home.

As a volunteer you can mean a lot: from a listening ear to practical help when pushing a wheelchair. How often and where you meet is of course up to you.

Why become a buddy?

Some elderly people no longer have relatives or relatives who live far away. For these people it is very valuable to be able to have a chat with other Rotterdammers every now and then. But people who have moved to the Netherlands and have not yet built up a large social network in Rotterdam also enjoy doing something every now and then. Volunteering where you will also do something fun!

Below you will find an overview of all requests for help for companionship or social contact on Zorgzaam010. Is there nothing right now? Sign up as a volunteer where you indicate where your interests lie. You will automatically receive an e-mail if there are new suitable questions or vacancies.

Are you looking for a buddy or companion?

Are you looking for people from Rotterdam or neighbors who can offer you company or do you want to do something fun with someone? Then post a question so that volunteers can send you a message. Or respond to a question from someone who is looking for company. This is how you help each other!

You can also view the range of people who offer their company. Maybe someone close by is already there? You can then send him or her a message to explain what kind of help you need. Or take a look below at the help questions for someone who is also looking for some fun. Who knows, there might be someone with the same interests! Respond to a nice question and get in touch.

Can't post a question? Then ask someone to help or contact Zorgzaam010.

Below you will find the current volunteer questions from other Rotterdammers. Find out what suits you and send a message to get in touch.
