NLvoorelkaar
As more and more Dutch households struggle to make ends meet each month, this challenge offers you the chance to make a difference for those in your community who are facing tough times. Why it matters: With the increasing costs of energy and inflation, many Dutch families are finding it increasingly difficult to meet their basic needs like a warm home, a hot meal, or access to education. If everyone lends a helping hand, together we can make a big impact on many people's lives. This is crucial because over 1 million Dutch people are currently living around the poverty line. What you'll do: ✅ Learn: Gain additional information on why, what, and how to combat poverty. ✅ Take action: We've compiled 9 practical steps that you can take today, in just an hour (or a bit more), to combat poverty in your neighborhood. So, do you have an hour to spare? Sign up for this challenge against poverty in the Netherlands! #administration #buddy #debt #help

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!

You're guaranteed a delightful afternoon, with the sea, sand, and a positive impact (provided the weather cooperates!). Plus, you'll learn something new. Have you ever heard of knotweed?

Make a double impact by recycling your plastic bottle for a good cause! You're probably aware that there's a deposit on all plastic bottles nowadays. Recycling is a great idea regardless, but it's especially meaningful when it supports a good cause. That's why there are special bins in many locations across the Netherlands where you can immediately contribute to a good cause with your bottle deposit. For instance, consider supporting organizations like Stichting Jarige Job, which provides birthday boxes for children who might not otherwise celebrate their birthdays. Every year, 80,000 children get to enjoy their special day! Or you could support the Plastic Whale Foundation, which encourages recycling through "plastic fishing" trips across the Netherlands (thus completing the circle with your plastic bottle donation).

You can hand in your old sleeping bags with every acceptance of goods at one of the 28 thrift stores of Het Goed. 🌙 For this you make all the difference Sheltersuit helps homeless people and refugees who are forced to sleep outside. Due to the increasing demand from aid organizations at home and abroad, no less than 16,500 sleeping bags are needed. By handing in a sleeping bag to Het Goed you make it possible that our social workshops can continue to make Sheltersuits and thus create permanent work. Will you lend a hand?

Long and hot showers... sometimes so wonderful, but it's not good for the planet, your skin and your wallet 😉. Gas is required to heat your shower water. The longer and hotter the shower, the more gas you use. On average, people in the Netherlands shower for about 8 minutes. If you were to shorten this to 5 minutes, you could save around 35 euros per year on your energy bill. This amount could increase significantly if you live with multiple people or if you tend to shower for longer than 8 minutes. ⁣ ⁣ So, it's time to step out of your comfort zone and join the sustainable showering challenge. ⁣ ⁣ 🌍 What are the benefits?

By doing so, you're not only supporting the training of our guide dogs, but also helping to protect the environment. Together, all the caps collected have generated tens of thousands of euros. Here's how it works: Step 1: Send us a message expressing your interest in participating, and we'll provide you with all the necessary information. Step 2: Collect as many caps as possible! Step 3: Drop off the caps at a collection point near you. That's it! You've made a significant impact, benefiting both the guide dogs and the environment. It's a win-win situation! Thank you very much for your support, and good luck with your collection efforts! #challenge

Do you also think it is important that everyone can 'roll out the door'? Then help with this Wheelmap challenge, where you map out where that is possible (or not). 🦽 Why is this important Going to the toilet, a shop, restaurant, event or even just crossing the street... it is not obvious or even possible for everyone. If you literally roll through life, for example with a walker, stroller or wheelchair, you will encounter different types of thresholds. Those literal thresholds are a great shame: we can prevent them together. 📍What can you do The Wheelmap app maps which places are accessible, or not. This way, users of the app know where they can go and which (or how) to avoid. You can help by updating the Wheelmap app. That is super easy: take a walk and log what is not accessible. Super simple! click on 'I'm participating' so that we know that you want to take on the challenge. Then we will also send you the information on how it works. Good luck and thank you!

Tens of thousands of people will sleep in the cold tonight. Donate old sleeping bags and help the homeless through the night! Sheltersuit turns it into a wind and waterproof jacket with a zip-on sleeping bag, for anyone who is forced to sleep outside. ⚡ You will do this Every sleeping bag counts when you're literally out in the cold. So clean up your attic and that of others and collect all old sleeping bags. You can donate these at all Het Goed thrift stores in your area. Note: not every sleeping bag is usable. These are good: • Synthetic thick and thin sleeping bags; • Preferably washed and should be of somewhat good looking; • The zipper may be broken; • The liner must not be broken; • Down/wool sleeping bags cannot be donated, unfortunately. You can hand in your old sleeping bags with every acceptance of goods at one of the 28 thrift stores of Het Goed. 🌙 For this you make all the difference Sheltersuit helps homeless people and refugees who are forced to sleep outside. Due to the increasing demand from aid organizations at home and abroad, no less than 16,500 sleeping bags are needed. By handing in a sleeping bag to Het Goed you make it possible that our social workshops can continue to make Sheltersuits and thus create permanent work. Will you lend a hand? You really make a difference with it and it also makes your attic happy. Thank you in advance!
