I don't have money for music lessons, for example.
Worried about money?
For example, because you don't have money for guitar lessons, you can't pay your other bills either, and debts are mounting.
Talking helps.
But that is precisely what is so difficult. In the Netherlands we don't talk easily about money worries. Even though everyone has money worries at some point in their lives. The danger? That you think - and say: it will be alright. Many people wait too long before seeking help. Avoid getting (further) into trouble. Because the sooner you talk about it, the sooner you can be helped. By a friend or neighbor. By Hulp op Maat or another organization in our municipality.
Asking for help costs nothing!
Do you have money worries or difficulty making ends meet?

Would you also like to be able to participate?
You are not alone.
Would you also like to participate in social, cultural or club activities? Or arrange this for your child(ren)?
Come talk to us about this. We offer you customized help in 3 simple steps.
Check out some solutions in advance below:
You can use the Meedoenregeling if you are 18+
You can receive money through this scheme to participate in socio-cultural or association activities. Think of a membership (being a member) for music, drama and sports clubs or the gym. Items related to membership such as an instrument or clothing are also covered. Other examples are a visit to an amusement park, costs for a course (painting, a language course) and a swimming subscription. Check below to see if you can take advantage of this arrangement.

Arrange swimming lessons for your children this way
If you have children between 5.5 and 18 years, you can apply for this through Stichting Leergeld Geldrop-Mierlo. The municipality has ensured that children of parents with a low income (look for standard on the website of the municipality) have the opportunity to go on swimming lessons.
