Summary
Often participants do not have the opportunity to come to the day care center by their own transport. We are looking for enthusiastic drivers for the wheelchair bus.Detailed description
Can you imagine what it is like to sit at home all day as an elderly person?
Participants of daytime activities de Twijg receive extra support to be able to continue living at home longer and just like you, they also enjoy going out. The need for socializing, eating together and doing something about sports and games is vital for most people. They also have some distance from their partner or carer and come home with fun stories and renewed energy. In addition, the partner and/or caregiver is temporarily relieved and valuable own time is created.
Often participants themselves do not have the opportunity to come to the day care center by their own transport. With our wheelchair bus and a number of enthusiastic driver volunteers, we offer participants the opportunity to participate in the activities. And good news, because there is room for new driver volunteers!
Is driving your second nature and do you like to do something for other people? Do you have a lot of driving experience and do you enjoy working with the elderly? Then we would love it if you contact us. You can really mean something to someone else and meet a lot of new people yourself.
