Grandma's Pen/Call Pal
In addition to our weekly events all over the Netherlands, we are also connecting young and old to become Pen or Call Pals. This means that volunteers and elderly will regularly send each other letters or have a chat on the phone, creating a personal bond. This way, we are tackling loneliness on an even larger scale and at a deeper level.
Do you want to join? On this page you can find all the grandpas and grandmas who would enjoy getting in touch with someone like you. Discover their hobbies and interests, leave a message for the one that appeals to you, and who knows, you might soon have a new friend to write or call!
Tip! Look for someone who lives a bit nearby, so you could potentially meet in person as well.
Do you know a grandparent, yours or someone else's, or someone in your environment, who might benefit from some extra contact? Please send an email to julot@omassoep.nl, mentioning the person's name and how we can reach them to create a profile for them on our website.
