Together for all children, because all children should be able to participate

Sports, music lessons, birthday parties; it's not always easy
Sam& website will help parents with lower incomes

Today, the Breda Youth Fund for Sports and Culture, Leergeld Breda, and the municipality of Breda launched the Sam& website: www.samenvoorallekinderen.nl. Through this website, parents with low incomes can directly apply for things like sports, cultural activities, and school supplies for their child(ren).

On Wednesday, February 3, Alderman Boaz Adank, together with Breda's children's culture mayor, submitted the first application.
Alderman for Poverty, Work, and Income, Boaz Adank: "Having the right school supplies, sports lessons, but also a fun outing every now and then. These seem like obvious things. But they certainly aren't always. For parents with a low income, these are things that are difficult to afford. These are difficult times; people have lost their jobs or are uncertain about maintaining their income. So it's understandable that they're making choices. It's important that children continue to participate and don't suffer as a result. Especially in these times, distraction in the form of sports or, for example, a children's party is very important. I'm happy that we are working with these wonderful organizations."
