What Welzin does

Welzin (Stichting WELZIN, KvK 41190651) is a Dutch social welfare foundation with ANBI status operating as an activity of Stichting Beweging 3.0. The organization delivers community-based social support services across 16 municipalities in the Eemland region of the Netherlands, including Amersfoort, Baarn, Bunschoten-Spakenburg, Leusden, Nijkerk, Soest, and Soesterberg. Service offerings span four core pillars: Maatschappelijk werk (social work), Thuisbegeleiding (home guidance), Buurtbemiddeling (neighborhood mediation), and Dagbesteding (day activities for seniors), supplemented by structured training programs such as KIES (children of divorce, ages 8-16), PIEP zei de Muis and Billy Boem (youth support groups), Sociale Vaardigheidstraining, Mindfulness, Assertiviteitstraining, and Stilstaan in drukte, plus specialized programs including Welzijn op Recept (GP-to-welfare-coach referral), Videohometraining (video-based family support), and Vroegsignalering van schulden (early debt detection contracted by Gemeente Soest since 2021). The technology layer is operationally thin: services are human-delivered by social workers, coaches, and volunteers across 11 documented physical locations including multiple ontmoetingscentra (Groene Stee, Kiymet, Huis Miereveld, Nijkerk), Hof van Leusden, and farm-based day facilities (Blommendal, Eemlandhoeve); the only quasi-digital components are the website (welzin.nl), email intake, and the data-sharing vroegsignalering workflow with housing corporations and healthcare insurers. No proprietary software platform, mobile app, or AI-driven product exists.

Welzin operates as a sales-led, government-funded welfare provider rather than a commercial enterprise. Revenue is sourced almost entirely from municipal government contracts under the WMO (Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning) and WLZ (Wet langdurige zorg) frameworks, supplemented by minor client contributions such as EUR 40 per participant for training courses and EUR 6.90-7.00 per meal/day at day activity centers. Pricing for core social work and mediation services is freemium/free at point of use, accessed via municipal wijkteam referrals, GP prescriptions (Welzijn op Recept), walk-in consultation hours (e.g., Soest Mon-Fri 9:00-11:00, Soesterberg Thu 9:00-10:00), or direct self-referral. Distribution is exclusively regional and direct, through embedded wijkteam presence, partner referrals (Lariks, Indebuurt033, PIT, GOOS, GGD regio Utrecht, Balans, MEE, SWOS, Idea), and physical facilities. No paid acquisition, third-party resellers, or geographic expansion outside the Eemland region is observed. The customer base is residential (residents of Eemland municipalities) served via commissioning municipalities; named government customers include Gemeente Soest and Gemeente Leusden. Welzin Soest won the NVVK landelijke publieksprijs at Expeditie Vroegsignalering in December 2025, providing national-level brand validation. The organization is governed under Stichting Beweging 3.0 with ANBI tax-advantaged status and operates in compliance with the AVG (Dutch GDPR).

Revenue model

1. Municipal Government Contracts: Welzin operates as a contracted service provider under municipal government contracts in the Eemland region (Soest, Amersfoort, Leusden, Nijkerk, Bunschoten-Spakenburg, Baarn, etc.).

Services are largely free at point of use for residents.
2. Client Contributions (Minor): Some programs charge nominal participant fees, such as training courses (EUR 40 per person) and meal contributions at day activity centers (e.g., EUR 6.90 warm meal at Ontmoetingscentrum Nijkerk, EUR 7 per day at Hof van Leusden). Most core social work services are free of charge.

Recent moves4 records

Others

• Movisie: National knowledge institute for the social domain providing research, methodology, and policy advice to Dutch welfare organizations including Welzin's peers. Indirectly comparable as ecosystem enabler rather than direct service provider.

Broad incumbents

• Philadelphia Zorg: Major Dutch care provider supporting people with intellectual disabilities and elderly populations through day activities and home guidance. Comparable on senior day programming and disability support mechanics.
• Cordaan: Large Amsterdam-based welfare and care provider offering social support, home guidance, and elderly services under WMO/WLZ contracts across a much broader geography than Welzin's regional scope.
• Incluzio: National social services group operating WMO jeugd, welfare, and community programs across multiple Dutch municipalities. Competes for the same municipal contracts Welzin targets but with national scale.
• Het Leger des Heils: Salvation Army Netherlands operates a broad national portfolio of social welfare, debt assistance, and community support services. Overlaps with Welzin on debt signaling and community welfare but at far greater national scale.

Direct peers

• Scala Welzijn: Regional Dutch welfare foundation delivering community social work, youth programs, and senior activities across multiple municipalities under government contracts comparable to Welzin's Eemland footprint.
• Tympaan: Regional Dutch welfare foundation operating in South Holland. Provides social work, neighborhood mediation, youth support, and senior day activities under municipal contracts, mirroring Welzin's integrated welfare model.
• Rijnstad: Welfare organization in the Arnhem/Nijmegen region providing maatschappelijk werk, neighborhood mediation, and volunteer coordination under municipal funding, structurally similar to Welzin's operating model.
• Indebuurt033: Welfare and volunteer organization coordinating Amersfoort's social services. Welzin explicitly delivers buurtbemiddeling, dagbesteding, thuisbegeleiding, and training through Indebuurt033 in Amersfoort, making it the closest operating peer with virtually identical service mix.
• Kwadraad: Regional welfare organization active in Gouda and surrounding municipalities. Offers social work, maatschappelijk werk, and community support services under WMO contracts with the same funding mechanics as Welzin.
