Municipality of Brummen joins the Youth Fund for Sports & Culture

The municipality of Brummen and the Youth Fund for Sports and Culture have been collaborating since August. The partnership was initiated by the municipal council. This fund helps children from low-income families participate in sports and cultural activities, such as soccer, dance, music, theater, or swimming lessons. The Youth Fund then pays the membership fee or tuition. This gives every child the opportunity to do something they enjoy.

Start during Children's Holiday Games
During the closing ceremony of the Children's Holiday Games in Eerbeek, Alderman Yasemin Cegerek and Nathan Stukker, chairman of the Gelderland Youth Fund for Sports and Culture, officially signed the partnership agreement. Yasemin Cegerek: "Every child deserves the opportunity to participate and develop. That's why the municipality, together with the Youth Fund for Sports and Culture, is committed to equal opportunities for all children." Nathan Stukker During the kick-off, he also emphasized the importance of every child being able to participate in sports and culture and that children should not be sidelined.

Make a request
Parents can only apply to the Youth Fund for Sports & Culture through a Meerkracht (Dutch equivalent of a teacher, neighborhood sports coach, or debt counselor, for example). They can also properly assess a child's eligibility. If the application is approved, the Youth Fund will pay the membership fee or tuition. Often, it's possible to start within three weeks.
