Collaboration Esther Vergeer Foundation

The Esther Vergeer Foundation and the Youth Fund for Sport & Culture are collaborating. This allows us to support children and young people with physical disabilities who are growing up in families with financial difficulties. We can then also pay the sports club membership fees for these children and young people.

Esther Vergeer: "The partnership with the Youth Fund for Sports & Culture is a wonderful, new step in getting children with disabilities or chronic illnesses involved in sports. Together, we're ensuring that absolutely every barrier disappears. We provide a fun, suitable sport at a local club, and the Youth Fund takes away any financial worries."

The application is submitted by the Child & Sport Relationship Managers of the Esther Vergeer Foundation. They act as an intermediary with the Youth Fund for families facing financial difficulties and submit the application together with them.

About the Esther Vergeer Foundation

The Esther Vergeer Foundation makes it possible for children with physical disabilities to participate in sports at regular sports clubs. This helps them learn to cope with their disability, grow their self-confidence, and strengthen their social standing.

Thanks to the Esther Vergeer Foundation Sports Clinics in seven academic children's hospitals, they see children throughout the country. The Esther Vergeer Foundation connects children and young people with physical disabilities (whether wheelchair-bound or not) or chronic illnesses between the ages of 6 and 21.
