Volunteers make a difference
In Gelderland we feel at home. It is a province where people look out for each other. Being involved. And making a difference together. We are proud of that! We do this with the many volunteers in society. Volunteer work comes in all shapes and sizes. From supporting sports clubs, protecting nature and heritage to helping neighbors. Deputy Vreugdenhil participated in NLdoet on Friday 13 March 2026 and cleaned the outdoor swimming pool in Rheden together with other volunteers.
Thanks to volunteers we stay connected
Volunteers make a difference every day. During NLdoet I experienced this again when I helped prepare the swimming pool in Rheden for summer. Thanks to their efforts, meeting places, facilities and monuments in our villages and neighborhoods remain lively, accessible and well maintained. This way we stay connected, and it is also fun to roll up our sleeves together.

NLdoet from the Oranje Fonds
The Oranje Fonds shows with NLdoet how important active citizens are for society. During NLdoet participants can experience how fun volunteer work can be. Being a volunteer really does something to you. For organizations it is a great opportunity to attract new volunteers. The Oranje Fonds is committed to a society in which everyone can participate and no one stands alone. An involved society in which we take care of each other, people have equal opportunities and feel connected to others in the neighborhood. This fits perfectly with our goals.
That is why in 2026 we again support the Oranje Fonds via the Connect your neighborhood fund. This fund gives an extra impulse to social connection between people in Gelderland villages, neighborhoods and districts. Want to know more? Visit oranjefonds.nl.

For all volunteers in Gelderland: your work and dedication makes Gelderland a little more beautiful. Thank you!
