Granny's Soup Volunteer
Granny's Soup Leeuwarden organises weekly activities to combat loneliness among the elderly. We organise Cooking Days, Soup at Home Days and several times a year we organise events in Leeuwarden. We are looking for young people/students who want to help us do this!
Cooking days:
Elderly people and volunteers get together to cut and chat. Often a game is played while the soup is cooking. The cooking day ends with a happy Granny's Soup meal, where the elderly and young people can enjoy their own cooking. The cooking days bring much conviviality from which the elderly derive great pleasure. In addition, they find the contact with young people valuable, fun and both the cooking days and the soups promote the health of the elderly. It gives them a sense of purpose and, above all, a lot of fun! The cooking days are organised in various community centres and day care centres.
Soup-to-door days:
Volunteers visit some elderly people's homes to pass a soup. The fresh soup is good for the health, but the most important thing for the elderly is the structural contact moment. The cosy chat is what the elderly enjoy most and is most valuable to them. In this, it is nice if the volunteer and the elderly stay in touch, and the same volunteers and elderly are linked structurally as much as possible.
Of course, all activities happen under the guidance of the Granny Soup Board Leeuwarden. We always try to do this the best we can, to always make it something fun for both the elderly and yourself.
You can help!
Besides its own activities, Oma's Soep tries to inspire millions of Dutch people to give a parent a smile. Would you like to contribute too? Then sign up as a volunteer!
