Caring for a loved one is something you often grow into slowly. It impacts many things; relationships, your own well-being, your schedule, finances, social circle and daily life. At Surplus Mantelzorg, we understand how important and sometimes heavy this responsibility can be. This is why we offer support to family members who care for a loved one for a long period of time. Our mission is to inform, strengthen, relieve and connect family caregivers. We do this with the help of our enthusiastic group of over fifty volunteers! We are seeing a growing number of requests for support, which is why we are looking for volunteers to join our team. Are you retiring? Are you in between jobs? Would you like to learn new skills, gain coaching experience? Or would you like to pass on your knowledge and skills and be involved in an active and enthusiastic club like us? There is always room for your commitment and talent at Surplus Mantelzorg.
