Volunteer support to residents
You can ask for help
The Volunteer Center Wageningen is closed from Monday July 29th to Friday August 9th. For urgent help from a volunteer, you can call the Startpunt (0317 41 0160) or drop by at Rooseveltweg 408A. Opening hours: Mon to Fri 09:00 to 13:00.
Getting help from volunteers feels really good especially when you are older, sick or when you have disability. Not everybody has a supporting network of family/friends. It can be difficult to get certain odd jobs done e.g. in the garden or around the house. These people can knock for help on our door!
What can our volunteers do for you?
- small jobs in het garden or around the house
- go out together and enjoy
- give support to people that take care of their loved ones
- give support to (raising) children
- help with your administration
- they can take you from A to B
- and a lot more..
Do you have a request for help that you cannot answer yourself? Or do you know someone who could use some help? You are very welcome to have a cup of coffee or tea and discuss your question. Our volunteers take time for you. Together we look for the most suitable solution. We work with various local organizations and volunteers who can help you.
You will find the Volunteer Center Wageningen on the 1st floor in the bblthk (there is an elevator).

Monday morning 9:30 to 11:30
Tuesday afternoon: 14:00 to 16:00

Online handbook
Have a look at our voluntary handbook. You can learn more about all the voluntary organisations that can help you. Ofcourse voluntary help can never replace professional care; the two can augment each other.
