De Boei Sociaal Werk

What De Boei Sociaal Werk does

De Boei Sociaal Werk (legal entity: Stichting De Boei) is a Dutch non-profit social welfare organization (ANBI-registered) founded in 2009 and headquartered at Bikkersweg 30 in Bunschoten-Spakenburg, Netherlands. The company delivers comprehensive community social work services to all residents of the Municipality of Bunschoten (approximately 22,000 inhabitants) across the full life cycle from birth to end of life. Service domains include parenting and youth development (babies, children 4-8, children 8-12, adolescents), adult support (personal guidance, financial counseling via Schuldhulpmaatje and Goed met Geld, client support, addiction support), informal caregiver support (registration, respite, training, palliative support at home, young caregivers, Alzheimer Café), senior services (elderly advisor, 75+ proactive visits, home help, personal alarm systems, voorzorgcirkels), and neighborhood/community development (Buurtcafé, neighborhood mediation, Burendag, Huiskamer van de Wijk).

The organization employs approximately 14 permanent staff (9 social workers, 1 staff member, 1 directeur-bestuurder, 2 front-office, plus additional Jongerenwerker and bridge functionary) and coordinates a network of 180-185 active volunteers. Service delivery is human-centered with no proprietary technology platform; key infrastructure consists of a main office, a Huiskamer van de Wijk neighborhood living room at Rengershof in partnership with housing corporation G&O, a mobile Buurtbus for street outreach, and a digital community calendar at boeiendbunschoten.nl. Social workers are permanently embedded in all primary schools and Oostwende College secondary school.

De Boei operates a hybrid revenue model. The vast majority of services are free of charge to residents, funded primarily through a multi-year uitvoeringsovereenkomst (execution agreement) and annual subsidies from the Municipality of Bunschoten, supplemented by ANBI-status tax-deductible donations and bequests. The only direct-revenue service with disclosed pricing is persoonsalarmering (personal alarm) at a €30 one-time connection fee plus €22.50 monthly subscription, installed in homes by volunteers. Customers are effectively the Municipality of Bunschoten as contracting authority, while end beneficiaries are all Bunschoten residents regardless of age or circumstance.
