Summary

We connect Apeldoorners to newcomers (people with a refugee background). We ask them to meet once a week for 1 hour to do something fun.

Detailed description

There is a lot of loneliness among newcomers and status holders. To counter this, we organize connections between Apeldoorners and newcomers for a period of 4 months for 1 hour per week.


The goal is social contact, so walking together, to the market, to the library, having a cup of coffee, playing padel. Whatever you like to do together.


So you can do this exactly when it suits your schedule best.


Tuesday April 22nd we start a new round. Are you interested? Send us a message via email! apeldoorn@buddytobuddy.nl
