Care circles: looking after each other

A care circle consists of 8 to a maximum of 13 community members who live within walking or cycling distance of each other. Together, you form a small circle of people who know each other and look after each other from time to time. You help each other with small (practical) things such as having coffee together, making a couple, shopping or a chore at home. Without fixed obligations: but with serious commitment.

Small, everyday things

In a care circle, you help each other with small, everyday things. This can be practical, such as carrying a message, taking out the container or just helping with a chore. But just as often it is about contact: having coffee together, going for a walk or just asking how things are going. It feels good to know that there are people around who know you and who you can talk to when necessary.

For all

Pre-care circles are there for everyone. They originate from the idea that together we are getting older and living independently for longer. Especially then, it is nice not to have to do everything alone. But even if you are younger, new to the neighbourhood or just like living in a neighbourhood where people know each other, a care circle can add something.

More connected

It is not about providing care or always being ready, but about attention, commitment and knowing how to find each other. Small gestures that make daily life easier and more pleasant And that create more connection in the neighbourhood.
