Sociaal Werk Oude IJsselstreek

What Sociaal Werk Oude IJsselstreek does

Sociaal Werk Oude IJsselstreek is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting, KvK 63825430) established in 2016, registered at Terborgseweg 19a, 7064 AA Silvolde, Netherlands. It serves all inhabitants of the municipality of Oude IJsselstreek in the Achterhoek region, operating across eight villages (Ulft, Gendringen, Varsseveld, Silvolde, Terborg, and surrounding areas). The organization operates two functional teams — Team Leefbaarheid & Welzijn (Livability & Wellbeing) and Team Maatschappelijke Opvang (Social Reception) — led by Director-Bestuurder Pascal van der Maas, with approximately 33 employees and a five-member Raad van Toezicht (Supervisory Board). A wholly-owned subsidiary foundation, Stichting Talenten in Verbinding (TIV), separately manages volunteer-related finances.

The service portfolio is broad and community-embedded, spanning neighborhood development work (opbouwwerk), volunteer coordination, language practice cafés (Praatcafé), form-filling assistance (Formulierenhulp), neighborhood mediation (Buurtbemiddeling), caregiver support and the municipal Mantelzorgcompliment program, parent consulting in six primary schools (Ouderconsulent), welfare coaching via GP referral (Welzijnscoach), migrant and refugee key-person support (Sleutelpersonen), LGBTI+ inclusion (Geef Oude IJsselstreek Kleur), financial walk-in counseling (Inloop Geldzaken), and various community connection programs (Samen is Leuker, Vrouwencafé, Samen Wandelen, Ontmoetingsinloop). The technology stack is non-existent: no proprietary platform, app, API, or AI capability — services are human-delivered through community centers, libraries, schools, partner locations, and home visits. A March 2026 product launch introduced a workflow tool linking sleutelpersonen with formulierenhulp, marking the first formal digital service-integration layer.

The business model is publicly-funded service delivery: revenue is derived almost entirely from contracts with the municipality of Oude IJsselstreek for commissioned welfare services. Services to residents are provided free of charge; only selected community activities carry a nominal €1 per session fee. Marketing and resident acquisition are community-led, relying on the organization's website, social media (Instagram, Facebook), community events, and partner referrals (GPs, schools, healthcare providers). Pricing details are not publicly disclosed, and audited revenue figures are not available.
