Summer sunshine

Year-round putting Broadcasting Leeuwarden and team Volunteering from Amaryllis individual volunteers in the limelight. This summer, we went the extra mile: we highlighted several volunteers at once!

There were also plenty of volunteers during the summer months of 2025. At festivals, events and village fairs, but also within the structural volunteering that continues as usual

Below you can see which initiatives we have been extra highlighted this summer. Here you can see the volunteers highlighted earlier (with more added throughout the year).

The volunteers of Neighbourhood Camping Bilgaard

For a few years now, the Bilgaard neighbourhood centre has organised the neighbourhood camping. A weekend of all-in camping on the grounds of the community centre for Bilgaard residents who do not have the means to go on holiday. Omroep Leeuwarden was present to briefly put the volunteers, also on behalf of Amaryllis, who make the neighbourhood camping possible in the limelight. 

The volunteers of the Frouljus PC

The Frouljus PC is the biggest and most important KNKB handball match of the year for the ladies premier league. Without all the volunteers, the Frouljus PC would not have been possible. This time Aryanne van Team Volunteering doing the interview. Together with Omroep Leeuwarden, she presented a certificate and VVV voucher for all volunteers.

Putting the volunteers of Vakantiedagen Heechterp/Schieringen in the spotlight

Every year, a holiday week is organised from community centre Heechterp-Schieringen for the children of the neighbourhood. This year it was not a week but was spread over three weeks. Every Wednesday and Friday, volunteers were ready to entertain the children. During these days, there were various activities and games that the children enjoyed participating in. Together with Amaryllis Vrijwilligerswerk, Omroep Leeuwarden was present to put the volunteers well-deservedly in the limelight.
