Sociaal Welzijn Op Maat (SWOM)

What Sociaal Welzijn Op Maat (SWOM) does

SWOM (Sociaal Welzijn Op Maat) is a Dutch non-profit welfare foundation (stichting), established in 2013 and registered in the Netherlands under KvK number 41265430, that delivers social support services to inhabitants aged 18+ of Montfoort and Linschoten in the province of Utrecht. The organization operates a wide portfolio of community-based welfare services — including front-office Wmo (Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning) consultations, Algemeen Maatschappelijk Werk, caregiver support via Steunpunt Mantelzorg, household assistance, mobility and housing adaptations, neighborhood mediation (Buurtbemiddeling), transportation (SWOM-auto and RitMaatje), digital literacy (Digi Café), and a dedicated dementia meeting center ('t Bakkershuis) — delivered through the main office at Kasteelplein 5, two DoeMeeHuis community centers in Montfoort and Linschoten, walk-in consultation hours, home visits, and partner referrals. Governance rests with a Director/Bestuurder (Frank van der Jagt) under a six-member Raad van Toezicht chaired by Hans Elzas, with an additional fundraising foundation (Stichting Vrienden SWOM) channeling ANBI-status donations.

The organization is staffed by 11 paid employees distributed across Directie en Ondersteunende Diensten, Team Welzijn, Sociaal team, Receptie, and DoeMeeHuis, and is structurally dependent on a large volunteer network coordinated through the Montfoort Werkt platform. Funding is derived principally from commissioning by the municipality of Montfoort under the Dutch Wmo social support framework, supplemented by tax-deductible donations to Stichting Vrienden SWOM. Services are offered to residents free of charge or at nominal cost.

SWOM does not operate a technology product; it has no mobile application, no public API, no proprietary software, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. Distribution relies on physically accessible community locations, walk-in hours, home visits, referrals from healthcare providers (POH, Ferm Werk, Rijnhoven dementia case managers), and co-delivery partnerships with Montfoort Vitaal (BeweegMee) and MEE Utrecht (independent client support). Geographic footprint is confined to two locations within the municipality of Montfoort, with no disclosed expansion plans beyond.
