What IPSO Centrum Midden-Brabant, Centrum voor leven met en na kanker does

IPSO Centrum Midden-Brabant is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting) operating as a psychosocial support center for anyone affected by cancer — patients, ex-patients, relatives, and bereaved family — in the Midden-Brabant region of the Netherlands. Its headquarters is a walk-in community center at Wilhelminapark 29, Tilburg, operating Monday–Thursday (09:30–16:00, Wednesday until 13:00), where visitors can drop in free of charge without appointment or referral. The center offers peer support meetings, relaxation and creative activities, informative sessions, beauty wellness mornings, and structured Positive Health (Positieve Gezondheid) conversations; it also co-developed the 'Back on Track bij Kanker' digital aftercare tool with Tilburg University and Elisabeth-Tweesteden Ziekenhuis (ETZ), launched in October 2025.

The organization's technology footprint is modest and operational rather than product-centric: a WordPress website (ipsocentrummb.nl) with Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Google Fonts, YouTube embeds, and Cookiebot consent management. Guest and visit data are stored in the IPSO.Community system administered by Tilburg-based IT provider Tambien under a data processing agreement; newsletters run on Laposta; payments are processed via Paytium integrated with Mollie (supporting iDEAL). There is no proprietary platform or app.

IPSO Centrum Midden-Brabant is an ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling — Public Benefit Institution) registered with the Dutch tax authorities, with no equity, parent company, or investors. Revenue is generated entirely through donations, Club van 100 membership contributions, and fundraising events including the annual Charity Dinner and Tilburg Ten Miles participation (the latter paired with a 1:1 matching donor arrangement with Nationaal Fonds Tegen Kanker). Annual reports are available from 2012 through 2024, but specific revenue amounts are not disclosed on the website. The center is led by Manager Maryse van der Steen and markets itself primarily through organic social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), email newsletters, community events, and word-of-mouth.
