OBJECTIVE

To promote the well-being of the residents of the three Egmonds and to create meaning for all who are involved. The foundation seeks to achieve its goal, among other things, by operating a meeting center in Egmond aan Zee and organizing activities that get people moving, connect with each other and combat loneliness. The activities organized are open to everyone, regardless of origin, religion, orientation, race, age and social position. The foundation is non-profit and dedicated to the common good.

VISION/MISSION

PostaanZee is all about civil society; active citizenship, reducing social isolation, fostering social cohesion and being able to live longer in the neighborhood because local residents take care of each other. As PostaanZee pursues this idea of a civil society, the volunteers also take care of each other and the visitors and participants. Participating longer in society by staying active and involved yourself seems to work within PostaanZee.

It is not the building or the meeting center but the local residents and volunteers who make PostaanZee. In essence, PostaanZee encourages and creates a Civil Society, through the participation and activation of residents. Here PostaanZee is “only” a means, a hub to distribute services to each other so that every citizen and local resident can “participate. PostaanZee shows the municipality how to build the infrastructure for the Wmo from active citizenship and how to combine it sustainably with care (AWBZ) and prevention (first line, Zvw).

PostaanZee is the place where people can feel at home and meet. The place where care and welfare activities and services are offered, where social bonding is encouraged at the neighborhood level and where partitions between organizations, institutions, businesses, entrepreneurs and neighborhood residents are removed through cooperation between these parties. Recurring key idea is the active involvement and participation of local residents and the very defining role played by many volunteers.
