A new way of working together
The mission ‘Kansrijk Venlo’ forms the basis for this new collaboration. The goal is to strengthen residents, neighbourhoods, communities and local areas. This enables residents to participate (once again), regain control over their lives and feel connected to their living environment. We are not only focusing on what we do, but especially on what it delivers for residents. The approach adapts to the needs of neighbourhoods, communities and the life stages of residents. It is not a fixed plan, but an invitation to work together.
Are you already receiving support?
Your current support will continue as normal. You do not need to arrange anything yourself. Do you already have a designated contact person? In many cases, this will remain the same person. Many familiar staff members will continue in their roles, so that residents can retain their trusted contacts as much as possible.
Venlo Municipality wishes the new partners every success!
