Woman 60+ wants a cheerful and reliable buddy

We are looking for a buddy for a woman over sixty from Ouderkerk a/d Amstel. Due to negative experiences with people from her past, she is suspicious of making new contacts. She avoids large groups of people and social environments. She spends a lot of time at home and she is bored. It is a big step for her to start a buddy relationship. But she wants it badly. She wants a reliable buddy who has a lot of understanding and patience and is cheerful and cheerful. Preferably someone between 60 and 70 years old, but she is also open to a younger person. She would love it if her buddy came to visit her at home. She likes to play board games like Yahtzee or Rummikub. She also seems to enjoy making cards together, working in the garden, taking a walk or cooking and eating. She is not so much concerned with how to spend her time. She attaches more value to the distraction and fun that a buddy offers her. She prefers to meet in the afternoon. She smokes, but she can smoke in the kitchen. Are you interested in becoming her buddy? Read below how that works. As a volunteer with the Roads Buddy project, we pair you with a regular participant: your buddy. We connect the participant and the volunteer based on, among other things, common interests. The function of this buddy contact is to break through or prevent social isolation for a participant with a psychological vulnerability by going out together. As a volunteer you provide distraction and a bit of fun. It is important that you are prepared to meet with your buddy once every fortnight for one year (longer is possible). Furthermore, you are prepared to enter into the encounter 'openly', without wanting to change the other person. That sometimes requires adaptability. Working hours: During the day or in the evening, during the week or at the weekend: all possible. If you become each other's buddy, you will meet once every two weeks for a period of one year. When and where you meet each other, you always decide in mutual consultation with your buddy. Intake procedure: Contact person Roads Maatjesproject: Jorise (Mon, Tue, Thu).

For her it is purely about being a listening ear, sharing moments and experiences and having fun. She also likes to go out. These must be low-budget activities. And because the woman suffers from some physical problems, she cannot take long walks or do too much physical exertion. She would like it if her buddy came up with fun ideas for outings.

We are looking for a buddy for a man in his sixties from Amstelveen. The man has been through a lot in his life, more than he can handle. As a result of the psychological problems he developed, he also developed an alcohol and smoking addiction (not drugs). Due to the addiction problem, it is not possible to receive psychological help. So he ends up in a vicious circle. The man comes across as a loud, tough, Amsterdam guy who won't let himself be crushed. He can be very direct in contact. He can also seem a bit chaotic. But behind that there is a little heart. He is very sensitive and somewhat spiritual. He is also sensitive to injustice. He describes himself as a people person. He talks to everyone on the street. Although the man is very social and although he can make contact very easily, he feels lonely. The man wants to investigate whether a buddy can help him. He hopes that there is a volunteer who can offer him some pleasant distraction. He wants a buddy between thirty-five and sixty-five years old. Someone who accepts that he almost always smokes and who takes his sensitivity into account. The man likes to talk himself, but also likes it when his buddy has a story to tell. He likes to ask questions and respond. He finds it important that his buddy is genuinely interested in him and listens actively and that his buddy does not behave in a controlling manner. The buddy outings must be low-budget. For example: a walk, cycling, a picnic somewhere, playing a board game somewhere. He can meet from 12 noon. Are you interested in becoming his buddy?

Who will help this woman break the rut?

Roads Maatjesproject

We are looking for a buddy (m/f) for a sixty year old woman who would like to take her for a walk or drink coffee somewhere. The woman has little or no social contact, except with her children. Because she feels lonely, she can go into a flow downwards. Then she stays indoors, is less interested in the outside world and becomes more and more worried. She knows that if she does fun things, she will break that downward flow. She hopes a buddy can help her by taking her out. The woman prefers not to mingle in a busy environment. She would like to make contact with friends by, for example, simply taking a walk in a park together or drinking coffee or eating an ice cream somewhere. The woman hopes that the contact with friends will provide her with some distraction and fun. She wants to be paired with someone with whom she clicks and with whom she feels good. She doesn't like to be difficult herself. She would like it if her buddy also had that same approach to life and would not pretend to be anything other than who he/she is. The woman is an easy talker, but during silences she can feel a bit uncomfortable or be hesitant. She would like it if the volunteer had some nice stories to tell, but also if the volunteer could offer her a listening ear. She prefers it when a conversation is spontaneous and when there is alternating speaking. She prefers Wednesday afternoons. She could also do it on Friday or Saturday afternoon. She doesn't smoke. Are you interested in becoming her buddy? Read below how that works. As a volunteer with the Roads Buddy project, we pair you with a regular participant: your buddy.

Woman (47) wants to cook or be creative together

Project · weekly 1 to 2 hours
Roads Maatjesproject

For a forty-seven-year-old woman from Amstelveen, we are looking for a buddy around her age with whom she can cook together or take up creative activities. The woman suffered brain damage due to an accident. Since then she has had balance, memory and vision problems. She spends a lot of time indoors. She is unable to independently take up her hobbies again. For example, it is difficult for her to hold a pan. That's why she doesn't cook enough for herself. So she would like it if a buddy could help her cook. She also thinks it would be nice to be paired with a buddy with whom she can be creative at home. 'We each do our own thing together' is how she envisions it. For example, she would like to crochet or knit together or draw a mandala. When crocheting or knitting, it would be nice if her buddy could help her every now and then. The woman experiences sadness because of her situation and everything that has happened in her life. But she likes to have fun, chats a lot, likes to joke and likes to express herself with humor. She therefore wants a buddy with whom she can experience fun. The buddy may be English speaking. As a result of the accident, she is easily distracted. Halfway through a conversation she can wander off or jump from topic to topic. It would be nice if you, as a buddy, could adjust the activity or conversation at such a time. The woman prefers to meet in the afternoons, except on Tuesday afternoons. She has a dog. She smokes.

We are looking for a buddy for a man in his sixties from Amstelveen. The man has moved from Amsterdam to Amstelveen and lives with family. He has a good relationship with his family. But he would like it if his world could also consist of other people. The social contacts he had in Amsterdam are diminishing. He is unable to make new social contacts in Amstelveen. He needs friendly contact with someone with whom he can tell his life story. The man loves music very much. He is a big fan of reggae, but also loves jazz and classical music. He himself plays guitar, tambourine and harmonica. The man is very friendly and makes contact with everyone easily. The moment the contact is longer, his attention shifts to the background. There may be periods when his mental health deteriorates. Then he can believe in some kind of fantasies. This does not have to be disturbing in buddy contact. His ideal buddy is someone who loves music (reggae). Someone with whom he can chat well, with whom he can experience conviviality. He would like to do something around the theme of music with a buddy. For example, jamming together. He also thinks it would be fun to drink coffee or take a walk together.

We are looking for a buddy (f) for a forty-four year old woman from Amstelveen to visit her at home. The woman was involved in an accident that left her with chronic pain and a traumatic experience. She has lost confidence in humanity and in the medical circuit. She does not dare to go outside and does not leave the house, except for hospital appointments. Her medical assistance is now being phased out. She has always found talking to care providers pleasant. She receives care and attention from her family. Her family tries to encourage her to go outside. But that is really too ambitious for now. That is why she needs friendly contact with someone who visits her home. Her ideal mate is a reliable, sweet and gentle person. Someone who doesn't force her to go outside, who genuinely offers her a listening ear, who wants to try to understand her and who can just have a nice chat with her. For example, the woman likes food, cooking and baking. That's a topic she would like to talk about. She also likes to talk about everyday topics; from nice stories to things that bother her. The woman was not born in the Netherlands. She speaks the Dutch language well enough to understand each other. The woman would like it if she could improve her Dutch language level through buddy contact. In contact she is a very honest and gentle person. She will need some time to feel someone else's trust.

We are looking for a buddy for a man of fifty plus who can play the guitar and who enjoys teaching him the basics of playing the guitar. The man has difficulty making social contacts. For him, guitar lessons are a goal in itself, but also a means to build contact. Twice before he attempted to take guitar lessons at a music school, but in both situations he stopped prematurely due to circumstances. Apart from the fact that taking guitar lessons again is too expensive for him, it just seemed like a nice way to get in touch with someone socially. The guitar as a means to avoid silence and to get in touch with someone. He thinks it would be nice if he could be paired with a buddy who could teach him how to play the guitar in his home situation and at his own pace or who could give him some tips on how to get started. He may also do it in a different location, if the volunteer knows a suitable location. The man will find it a bit exciting to meet up at first. As the contact progresses, there is a chance that he will relax. He wants a nice buddy who is patient with him, gives him some confidence and with whom he clicks.

We are looking for a buddy for a friendly 44-year-old woman. The woman has had an anxiety disorder for years, which means she spends most of her time at home. The woman only wants or can go outside if someone accompanies her. So she is very dependent on others. The woman has been linked to buddies before. She has had positive experiences with this, because her buddies took her outside and gave her fun distractions. That's why she now hopes to be paired with a buddy again. The aim of the buddy contact is to increase the quality of her life. As a volunteer you should not have the ambition to help the woman get rid of her problems. What matters is that you take her experience seriously. The first thing that matters is that the woman feels comfortable with her buddy. Before she dares to leave the house, she will first have to click with the buddy and feel comfortable with her buddy. She may have an anxiety attack and then want to go home or she may not dare to go outside on a bad day. The woman would like to go for a walk in the area with a buddy, or possibly go for a bike ride. She also thinks it would be fun to play table tennis together or play a card or board game when it is raining. Since the woman doesn't experience much herself, she would like it if her buddy had a few things to say. She can search out the negativity in her head. That is why the woman likes it when her buddy can view life positively, but does not wave away the problems in the woman's head. The woman can meet during the day.

Lonely man wishes buddy for a chat

Project · monthly 2 to 4 hours
Roads Maatjesproject

The man (67) has a small social network. He has some contact with a few neighbors. Contact with his children is at a distance. His life has not turned out as he had hoped and he is still struggling to keep up with life. It's hard for him to process that. He often feels lonely and despondent and is actually ashamed of the fact that he doesn't know anyone and of how his situation turned out. Because he has not had any further social contacts for some time and because he has little to spend, he experiences a barrier to joining activities in the neighborhood. The man needs some friendly attention. A buddy would be a good solution. The man hopes for a buddy who is not judgmental, but who has attention and interest in him. He has been through a lot and he would like to be able to talk to someone about how his life turned out. He needs to be seen and heard. As a buddy you will have to be patient with him. He is not someone who stands in the foreground. And he's not really used to talking. He therefore does not know how to properly estimate how he will react in a buddy contact. He may initially adopt a wait-and-see and uncertain attitude. Or that he finds it difficult to respond adequately. He talks a bit slower than average anyway. The man is not very physically mobile. He can walk about five hundred meters. He prefers to meet at home for a cup of coffee.
