Portfolio - Social Domain

Social Domain

For a Brandevoort where everyone can participate!

In Brandevoort, we believe in a neighborhood where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported. The Social Domain portfolio focuses on strengthening social cohesion and supporting residents who need extra attention. A strong community starts with caring for one another.

Care and Well-being

We are committed to a healthy and resilient neighborhood. This includes attention to mental health, informal care, community initiatives, and connecting care providers with residents. Examples include encouraging meeting places, supporting volunteers, and identifying support needs so that no one falls through the cracks.

Poverty reduction

There are also families and individuals in Brandevoort who struggle to make ends meet. Within this portfolio, we focus on raising awareness, referring people to support services, and lowering barriers. We aim to make poverty a topic that can be discussed openly and work towards a neighborhood where everyone has equal opportunities, regardless of income.

Elderly

Our older residents are a valuable source of experience and connection. We are committed to creating an age-friendly neighborhood with accessible facilities, safe walking routes, and social activities. We also look at housing options that match the needs of seniors, so they can continue to live comfortably and independently in Brandevoort. For this, we collaborate with several local partners such as Kansrijk, Oog voor elkaar, and Aandacht voor ouderen.

Youth and vulnerable groups

Young people are the future of our neighborhood. We listen to their ideas, concerns, and ambitions. At the same time, we support vulnerable groups, from people with disabilities to newcomers, by promoting inclusion and removing barriers. This includes accessible meeting places, opportunities for talent development, and strengthening the support network around these residents.

De portefeuille Sociaal Domein draait om mensen. Heb jij ideeën, signalen of wil je meedenken over hoe we Brandevoort nog socialer en sterker maken? Sluit je aan bij de wijkraad of neem contact op. Samen zorgen we voor een wijk waarin iedereen meetelt!
