Voucher from Almelo Buurt Samen arrives in mailboxes
Starting next week, all households in the municipality of Almelo will receive a €7.50 voucher from Almelo Buurt Samen. You can donate this voucher via almelobuurtsamen.nl to your favorite neighborhood initiative.
Why the voucher?
With the voucher, residents themselves decide which initiatives in their neighborhood will be implemented. Anyone can submit an initiative via almelobuurtsamen.nl. If the plan meets the rules, it will be published and neighbors can save up for it. Once enough vouchers have been collected, the initiator can carry out the idea.
Initiatives range from social gatherings to greening projects and traffic safety measures. For example, in the previous round, a meal for lonely residents was organized at community center De Schelf, and a community garden was established in the Wierdensehoek district. Smaller initiatives, such as the bright green traffic figure "Veilige Victor" or the planting of flower bulbs, were also realized thanks to collected vouchers.
Donating the voucher
The voucher that will be delivered to your home next week can be donated via almelobuurtsamen.nl to your preferred neighborhood initiative. You can do this immediately by donating the voucher to a chosen initiative. Still unsure? You can activate the voucher in advance through a personal account. The amount will then remain valid for a longer period.
