Summary
Social network is important to everyone. There is Friendly Home Visit for people who need a helping hand.
Detailed description
Social network is important to everyone. Simply because people need each other. Whether it is to share a hobby together or to help with a job. For an occasional trip or for friendship. But building a social network is not self-evident for everyone.
The Friendly Home Visit project exists for people who need a helping hand.
As a volunteer you offer friendship and guide people in rebuilding their social network. Together with the participant, you will work according to a specific method to build or expand contacts. Humanitas trains you in this method.
You act as a coach, supporter and connector. Your commitment is temporary, because you teach people to use their own strength and talents again.
What we ask

You are stable, patient and reliable

You have the time to visit the participant every week or 2 weeks for about a year for about 2 hours. During the day, in the evening or at the weekend, whatever suits you and the participant
