The Netherlands – ReumaNederland is forced to opt for a Home collection this year. Home collectors who have registered can easily collect from the couch with their mobile phone from 22 to 27 March. With this alternative to the door-to-door collection, ReumaNederland hopes to raise a nice amount this year. Money that is desperately needed for life-changing research and pioneering solutions for the more than 2 million Dutch people who live with the brakes of rheumatism on a daily basis.
Jan-Willem Förch, director of ReumaNederland: “In March last year, we were the first collection fund to pull the plug from the collection. Two days before the start. A huge disappointment for all of our 40,000 loyal volunteers who normally go door to door. And certainly also because of the income from the collection. This year, unfortunately, we also had to conclude that it is not possible to go door-to-door because of the government measures and signals from volunteers. That is why we have set up an online collection as an alternative. ”
Get moving and give!
ReumaNederland is happy that so many people have registered as a home collector and want to help make the collection a success. “So when you get a message from a home collector, I hope you will support us with an anonymous donation. Because the collection remains a very important source of income for us in our fight against the brakes of rheumatism ”, says Jan Willem Förch. You can also give via www.thuiscollecte.nl
