We're in this together in Son and Breugel!
Living comfortably and aging well in your own neighbourhood works better when we look out for each other and lend a helping hand. Not only is this enjoyable, it also helps keep care accessible for those who need it most. With ‘We're in this together in Son and Breugel’, residents, care and welfare organisations, and the municipality of Son and Breugel are joining forces to build a strong, social neighbourhood. Existing initiatives in the village, such as DE STAP naar gezonder and Son & Breugel Verbindt, are being connected.
‘We're in this together in Son and Breugel’ focuses on mapping out what’s already happening in the village centres. What’s going well, where are the opportunities, and how can residents support each other even more? By answering these questions together, a clear picture emerges of how living and community life can be improved even further. Think of new activities, a bike repair station or vending machine, or practical improvements like more public bins on the streets.
Talking together
From April 2 to April 17, 2026, stakeholders—including residents and employees of care and welfare organisations—will be present at various locations throughout the village. They will also go door-to-door to speak with (other) residents. For example, about questions like: How are you doing? What’s it like living here? Do you take part in activities? Is there something missing in your neighbourhood? Residents are warmly invited to share their experiences and ideas.
The message is clear: creating a neighbourhood where people look out for and help each other starts with a good conversation. Prefer to share your story online? Then fill out the online form.
Getting to work
Based on the conversations, a neighbourhood connection map will be created. This will show what’s happening and where needs lie. Then, residents and organisations will work together to implement wishes and ideas wherever possible.
