Special impact: making a bee hotel

Once · 0 to 1 hours
NLvoorelkaar

Are you aware of the distinction between honey bees and wild bees? Honey bees reside in hives tended by beekeepers and produce honey. On the other hand, wild bees inhabit natural habitats and play a crucial role in pollinating plants and flowers, aiding in the growth of vegetables, fruits, and other edible crops. Despite there being 358 species of wild bees in the Netherlands, they are facing challenges... but fortunately, there's something we can do to help! Would you like to contribute by creating a Bee Hotel or Bee Bed & Breakfast in your garden for these vital pollinators? Sign up, and we'll guide you through the process of easily constructing your own bee B&B. This challenge is also a wonderful activity to enjoy with kids!

Restore benefits affair in your region

Stichting (Gelijk)waardig Herstel

For everyone who wants to do something for parents and families affected by the childcare allowance affair. A foundation by and for parents of the allowance affair For years, parents have been wrongly accused by the Tax Authorities as fraudsters, with unprecedented emotional, relational and financial consequences. Unfortunately, there are tens of thousands of families who suffer from the consequences of the allowance affair and they are still waiting for recovery. As a volunteer of the (Equal) Worthy Recovery Foundation, you can provide direct support and make a difference for a family. Since October 2023, the (Equal) Worthy Recovery Foundation has been offering a people-oriented recovery approach developed by parents and independent (personal injury) experts. We work from our own direction, trust, neutrality and collectivity. Our goal is to resolve the allowance affair together more quickly and to offer parents the opportunity for emotional and financial recovery. To be able to do this for the many affected parents, we need you! Where you can make a difference for a parent by participating as a Listening Writer. This is what you do as a Listening Writer The recovery route focuses on the parent's own story, the Factual Account. In order to put this on paper, the parents (the Storytellers) are supported by a Listening Writer: a volunteer from society who listens without judgement and writes down the Parent's Factual Account. For the parent, the Factual Account consists of 3 parts: who were you before all the misery started, where are you now and where do you want to go? When the Factual Account is on paper, the parent can choose to have it calculated. In this way, as a volunteer, you make an important contribution to the parent's emotional and financial recovery. This is who you are as a Listening Writer Perhaps you have been following the news for years, the benefits affair affects you, you feel the urgency, and you want to do something concrete. By helping out, you are in fact saying to the people involved: I see and believe you. It is precisely this equality that motivates you to use your time and skills. As a person, you connect easily, equally and respectfully. You are open and curious about the person involved. You can listen deeply, unbiased and without (pre)judgments. You dare to ask questions and know how to create a safe environment. In addition, you are a fellow resident of the Netherlands. We advise you to register from the age of 21, because impactful events are discussed during the conversation. Some life experience is required to deal with this well. It is necessary to have a laptop and/or tablet in combination with a smartphone. Some IT skills are also useful: both the Storyteller and Listening Writer work in our online Portal. As a Listening Writer, you participate in a digital Start Meeting (1 hour), so that you can learn more about the role of Listening Writer and can get started well. Practice shows that being a Listening Writer requires an average of between 10 and 15 hours. This can vary, because the parent is in charge of the process and determines the speed. Register now! Do you also want to make a difference by connecting with a parent? Do you want to contribute to our goal of resolving the benefits affair more quickly? There are benefits parents in all regions of the Netherlands, including your region. Register via our website and become part of our independent collective. You can also help by sharing the Luisterend Schrijver call in a way that suits you (social media, in your organization, in your network). We also like to work together with Partners. Are you interested in more information about a collaboration? Then send a message!

Balans, vereniging voor ouders

Balans is an association for parents of children with all kinds of additional support needs. Such as autism, giftedness or dyslexia. We help parents, among other things, with our free advice line and with our webinars and meetings. The advice line consists of experienced parents who know a lot about appropriate education and youth care. Do you also want to help other parents with your knowledge and experience? Then register and have a no-obligation conversation with our coordinators Claudette and Karin. This way you can see whether volunteering for Balans is also something for you. Every hour that volunteers want to work for us is one, and many hands make light work. We are currently specifically looking for volunteers for our advice line and in the regions. But you can also help with membership administration, marketing, lobbying or technical support. You can easily help with the advice line from your own home. The advice line is available at specific times, but you can also call parents back later or respond to a question by email. You can find more information via this link: [website hidden]/ Would you like to register immediately for a no-obligation consultation? You can do this by completing this form: [website hidden]

Lach-Medicijn

Then this is definitely something for you! You can just do this in between, whenever it suits you! I am Marja from Lach-Medicijn (see our page on fb, the site is also there), a telephone helpline for those who need a nice chat (not necessarily laughing, mind you, but that is of course allowed!). Someone who needs some support in the form of a nice chat, for example asks "who can around 2 pm?" in the telegram group (because that is possible under a pseudonym and without a telephone number!). Someone who has time, responds with: "I can then". The person asking will then contact you at the agreed time (without you having to give your number!), To ensure that it remains a positive, constructive conversation, you follow the protocol: see the protocol page on our site. Would you like to join in? Maybe you can take a look at the site? Fun fact: if you work as a volunteer at Lach-Medicijn, you can also ask for a chat, if you ever feel the need! Maybe we'll see each other in the waiting room of Lach-Medicijn for an introductory meeting? Kind regards, Marja from Lach-Medicijn

ContourdeTwern

ANWB AutoMaatje was founded in 2015 because the ANWB believes it is important that everyone can be mobile. We bring volunteers with their own car into contact with less mobile fellow residents, so that the elderly and people with a health disability have good transport at their disposal and do not become isolated. During the holiday periods (Christmas, summer holidays) we are looking for a volunteer who wants to accept ride requests by telephone from Monday to Thursday, from 9:30 to 12 noon. The requested ride must then be linked to an available volunteer. This function can be carried out from home and you will receive a mobile phone. The amount of time you spend depends on the ride requests, but is never more than three hours. You help people with this so that they can visit family, physiotherapist, doctor or hospital.
