What KrimpenWijzer does

KrimpenWijzer is a municipal social services information portal and coordination platform operating on behalf of the municipality of Krimpen aan den IJssel in the Netherlands. The organization serves all residents of the municipality as a single point of entry for questions related to care, welfare, upbringing, housing, financial matters, and community participation. It maintains a curated social map of 69+ local organizations across categories such as healthcare, mental health, youth services, and welfare, and provides direct service programming including neighborhood centers (Buurtkamers), warm meal services, volunteer matching, caregiver support groups, dementia discussion groups, and youth resilience training. The keukentafelgesprek (kitchen-table conversation) methodology delivers in-home needs assessment, exploring three tiers of support: own strength/network, general facilities, and customized solutions.

The platform is built on the Invis social mapping system, developed and maintained by Elkander BV (Brink 7, 7963 AA Ruinen), which provides the web infrastructure, content management, and accessibility support. The portal integrates with the Koninklijke Bibliotheek's Wijzer social mapping system for library organization data. It does not have a native mobile app but offers a personal digital mailbox (Mijn KrimpenWijzer) for residents to receive official municipal correspondence regarding Wmo and Jeugdhulp decisions. The platform is not a commercial product; it operates as a government-commissioned portal under Dutch social domain statutes (Wmo, Jeugdwet, Participatiewet).

KrimpenWijzer is funded through the municipal budget of Gemeente Krimpen aan den IJssel and is not a freestanding commercial entity. It does not have disclosed revenue, funding rounds, or investors, and operates with a 7-person staff. The economic model is hybrid: core services are free for residents, with nominal participant fees for community meals (EUR 6.00 per warm meal, EUR 7.50 per community dinner) and certain activities. Distribution occurs through digital self-service, phone support (0180-517 590), in-person consultations at the Gezondheidscentrum, and partner referrals from schools, childcare centers, healthcare providers, and affiliated organizations including ContourdeTwern, Kwadraad, CJG, MEE, Enver, and Vluchtheuvel. The geographic scope is strictly limited to the single municipality of Krimpen aan den IJssel.
