We're all facing it: high inflation and skyrocketing energy prices. The NOC*NSF conducted a study on the effect of this on sports participation. And what did it reveal? Rising energy prices have made sports too expensive for some Dutch people. About a fifth of the sports-loving population, faced with the associated price increases, has reduced their participation in sports or stopped altogether.Source: Nos.nl).

Less participation in sports and culture

Currently, more than 1 million people in the Netherlands cannot afford sports or cultural hobbies. That's a staggering 61% of all Dutch people (Source: Poverty and Social Exclusion 2021, Statistics Netherlands). As a result of the coronavirus crisis, more people than ever before have fallen into poverty. The current energy crisis and high inflation are causing even more people to face financial difficulties. For these people, participation in sports or cultural activities is often one of the first things to be cut. Yet, it's crucial that they too can continue to participate. Participating in sports or cultural activities contributes significantly to their development. It creates a positive feeling and increases self-confidence, provides enjoyment, and prevents social exclusion.

Growing number of applications

De doelgroep van het Jeugdfonds wordt hiermee groter. Dit zien wij terug in het groeiend aantal aanvragen dat bij ons wordt ingediend. Tot dusver hebben we in 2022 meer dan 3500 aanvragen goedgekeurd in Utrecht, met in september de meeste aanvragen ooit. Gezinnen die voorheen de contributie nog wel konden betalen, kunnen dat nu niet meer. Goed om te weten dat het Jeugdfonds er óók is voor kinderen uit deze gezinnen. Want geen enkel kind zou aan de zijlijn mogen staan.

Sponsored walk

Cool After School, a sporty after-school program in Haarlem, organizes various sports, games, and activities year-round to encourage and support children's development. From wakeboarding to biathlon and from cycling to karate, these children learn and can do it all. But Cool After School recognizes that having childcare and joining a sports club isn't a given for all children.That's why Cool After School organised a sponsored walk with all participating parents/guardians and children, where they raised money for the Haarlem Youth Fund for Sports & Culture.

 Cool Kids on the course at HCHMC Saxenburg

Cool After School thoroughly explained the reason for the run to the kids, and they launched with incredible dedication. They ran three times a day for 30 minutes for a week to ensure maximum fundraising. In high temperatures, the children, with the support of their sponsors and mascot Cas Kardinaal, managed to conquer a sporty and challenging course of approximately 350 meters. The Cool After Schoolers had to jump over hurdles, climb several raised platforms, crawl under the tarp, and then race through the inflatable obstacle course. When the final minute whistle blew, even the youngest bravely started an extra lap.

Proud proceeds of €3000.

Each round earned the children a donation, and as a group, they ultimately raised €3,000 for the Haarlem Youth Sports & Culture Fund. The amount raised is fantastic. It demonstrates how motivated the kids and their sponsors are to ensure that more children from less-affluent families can still join a sports club. Cool After School is incredibly proud of this event and hopes to contribute to giving children the opportunity to participate in sports, because sports are for everyone.

Thanks to all the cool kids, parents/guardians, sponsors, and Cool After School!

Update

We enthusiastically embarked on the Heroes Comics Competition, culminating in the Haarlem Comics Days. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, everything took a different turn. During the lockdown, while we were working on the comic book and preparing for the exhibition, we came across an interesting project related to 코리아카지노사이트 전문가 보증 사이트, a platform that emphasizes reliability and expertise in an often opaque industry. The parallel between carefully assessing participating artists and the quality assurance offered by such platforms inspired us to take a particularly critical look at the submissions. Now that COVID-19 restrictions have been tightened again, an exhibition is still impossible to plan, but we don't want to keep participants in suspense any longer and are publishing the comic book ahead of time. We will announce the Top 3 winners around December 1st.

New planning

Starting December 1st, the comic books signed by Eric Coolen will be delivered and sent to all participants (mostly through their schools). The three winners will receive their comic books personally, in compliance with COVID-19 regulations. We will do our best to ensure the comic book itself and the presentation to the winners are as well-deserved as possible!

As far as we're concerned, all participants who drew their hero are heroes themselves!

We are postponing the exhibition again.

Our call was:

What is Culture@CruyffCourts?
The Youth Fund for Sport & Culture and the Johan Cruyff Foundation are joining forces to give children and young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods access to sports and culture close to home: at the Cruyff Courts. In addition to the existing sports offerings, children will also have the opportunity to experience (urban) cultural activities. These are provided by local cultural providers to lower the threshold for regular follow-up lessons. Do parents have a Haarlem Pass, then the Youth Fund can help with the payment of these follow-up lessons.

The Haarlem summer edition is produced by Triple ThreaT and made possible by donations from the Haarlem Cultural Incentive Fund, the Reformed Orphanage, the JC Ruigrok Foundation, and the Union Haarlem Foundation. National sponsors include the Friends Lottery and the Fund for Cultural Participation.

Cultuur@CruyffCourt is being held in Haarlem East, because that's where the Cruyff Court is located. The program is tailored, where possible, to neighborhood offerings from partners such as Dock and Sport Support. See Summer program flyer east.

MHC Rosmalen en Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur ’s-Hertogenbosch-Vught gaan samenwerken!

Lid zijn van MHC Rosmalen is voor heel veel mensen een normale zaak. Toch zijn er in Rosmalen kinderen (4-18 jaar) die door de financiële situatie van hun ouders/verzorgers niet mee kunnen sporten. Daarom gaan MHC Rosmalen en het Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur ’s-Hertogenbosch-Vught per direct intensief samenwerken.

Ieder kind mag meedoen!
"Wij vinden het belangrijk dat ieder kind kan meedoen”, legt voorzitter Mark Brants van de Rosmalense hockeyclub uit. “Dat past bij onze missie om zoveel mogelijk mensen plezier te laten bleven aan de hockeysport. Wanneer ouders of verzorgers de contributie voor een kind zelf niet kunnen betalen, creëren we op deze manier de mogelijkheid tot financiële ondersteuning. Zeker in deze bijzondere tijd waarin inkomsten plotseling afgenomen kunnen zijn. “Een intensieve samenwerking met het Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur ’s-Hertogenbosch-Vught vinden wij daarom erg belangrijk”.

Bijdrage aanvragen.
Het Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur ‘s-Hertogenbosch-Vught is een stichting welke ouders helpt bij het betalen van de contributie. In sommige gevallen kan een waardebon worden verstrekt voor het aanschaffen van sportbenodigdheden, zoals kleding of attributen. ”Om in aanmerking te komen voor een vergoeding vanuit het Jeugdfonds Sport en Cultuur kan er een aanvraag worden ingediend via een van de intermediairs van het Jeugdfonds. “Intermediairs zijn onder andere werkzaam in het onderwijs (bijvoorbeeld de directeur, IB-er of gymleerkracht), op de verschillende wijkpleinen en je kunt terecht bij Stichting Leergeld”, legt Jan de Leeuw, bestuurslid van het Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur ’s-Hertogenbosch-Vught, uit.

Maatschappelijke samenwerking
De organisaties gaan een maatschappelijke samenwerking aan voor een jaar, met de intentie om elkaar langdurig te versterken. Naast vergroting van de sportparticipatie werken beide organisaties ook samen aan gezamenlijke fondsenwerving.

Door de uitbraak van het coronavirus leven we in een roerige tijd. Het raakt ons allemaal. Om verspreiding van het coronavirus tegen te gaan, hebben we besloten de maatregelen vanuit de overheid te volgen. Dat betekent dat alle collega’s van het Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur Drenthe de komende periode vanuit huis werken.

Wat nu?

• Het indienen van aanvragen blijft mogelijk voor het komende seizoen, met startdatum 1 juli 2020 en einddatum 30 juni 2021. De aanvragen worden in behandeling genomen en op de wachtlijst geplaatst. Wij verwachten en hopen dat wij deze medio mei/juni kunnen goedkeuren
• Wij zijn goed bereikbaar via de e-mail. Vragen kunnen gesteld worden via gerda.drenthe@jeugdfondssportencultuur.nl  en worden zoals gebruikelijk beantwoord.
• Je kunt ons ook bellen voor vragen. Dit kan op dinsdag en donderdag tussen 9.00 en 12.00 uur op nummer 085-0862866.

Heb je een vraag hierover neem dan contact met ons op.

Veel succes met de uitdagingen rondom deze uitzonderlijke situatie en vooral, pas goed op jezelf en je naasten!
