Nice that you are curious, let us first introduce ourselves!
The Bredius Guest House has existed since spring 2021 and it makes everyone happy. Guests because they enjoy it there, informal caregivers because they can let go of caring for a while and volunteers because they find it a joy to be able to contribute to this nice place.
Our guest house is run by a team of more than 50 enthusiastic volunteers. Every time you are there it is different because there are always new guests. One person already enjoys the attention of a chat, the other wants to go out, for example on the duo bike. Some people need a little more support with the rhythm of the day due to dementia, others can still do a lot themselves despite brain damage but enjoy a nice conversation. In short, every day is different.

Read an experience of a volunteer here.
Volunteer Astrid usually chooses morning shifts: 'Then people wake up slowly and you help them get up. Then you sit comfortably at the breakfast table with 4 guests and 2 volunteers. Then the stories come.'

By coming to stay with us, the sometimes heavily burdened informal caregivers are relieved. The guest house is a homely and attractive place that allows the informal caregiver to temporarily let go of care with confidence and gain new energy.

Volunteer Astrid: 'Sometimes we have crying informal caregivers here who are so happy that they have a moment of rest.'

We can use your help!
Do you enjoy making others happy? Do you enjoy helping people in the daily rhythm of... day, to undertake activities and create a homely atmosphere? You can be of enormous importance in the Guest House!

Good to know:
- You indicate in the schedule when you are available each week.
- You do not have to have a healthcare training course.
- I like that volunteer work involves a degree of responsibility and is willing to perform light care tasks.
- You become part of a club of enthusiastic volunteers.
- As a volunteer you will receive a short training, because you play a central role in the daily affairs of this guest house.
- Once you register, you can get started right away! This can be done by sending a message.
