Together with BOB, we want to get more children involved in Breda
The Breda Youth Fund for Sports & Culture is a social partner of Involved Entrepreneurs Breda (BOB)
The motivation for the Youth Fund for Sports & Culture to join Betrokken Ondernemers Breda is clear: "We want to work together in the city to ensure that children in Breda can participate in sports and culture," says Jeroen Meeuwissen, chairman of the Youth Fund.
To achieve this, the Youth Fund for Sports & Culture is seeking collaboration with other organizations in the city. This explains its recent affiliation with BOB. "Betrokken Ondernemers Breda has a strong network of businesses and community partners with whom we can join forces," says Meeuwissen.
He believes that combining these forces can actually lead to greater impact. "We're a small foundation, and it's great to be able to submit our requests for assistance to BOB, so we can work together to ensure that children in Breda can participate in sports and culture."
Dance, music, swimming lessons or sports
The Breda Youth Sports & Culture Fund enables children from low-income families to join a sports club or participate in dance, music, visual arts, theater, scouting, or other creative activities. "We cover the membership fees or tuition for these children, as well as the necessary equipment."
In this way, the Youth Fund helps reduce the gap in opportunities between children. "So that children growing up in poverty can also participate in sports and cultural activities and, for example, obtain their swimming certificate."
More awareness
By joining BOB, the Youth Fund also hopes to raise awareness. "So that children and their parents, as well as their caregivers, know that the fund is there to help them and that we are supported in our efforts to enable children's participation."
Entire society
The opportunities and the importance for other partners are enormous, he indicates. "We offer organizations the chance to make a difference for the youth in Breda. Because participating in sports or culture helps a child develop optimally physically, mentally, and socially. This is important for the child's development and future, but also for the family and ultimately for society as a whole," he explains. Because ultimately, it's simple: "Participation means more opportunities."
