Stichting Tot Uw Dienst!

What Stichting Tot Uw Dienst! does

Stichting Tot Uw Dienst! is a Dutch nonprofit foundation (Stichting) founded in 2016 and headquartered at Bosrand 28 in Ede, Gelderland, Netherlands. It delivers practical household and garden services — including gardening, handyman work, grocery assistance, household cleaning, moving help, and energy-saving home improvements — to residents of the municipality of Ede whose income does not exceed 130% of the statutory minimum. Services are priced at a €7.50 per-employee-per-hour expense allowance for regular tasks and provided free of charge through the FixBrigade Ede energy-saving line, which operates under the national Fixbrigade Nederland framework with a maximum €250 in materials per dwelling. The organization reports that 50% of its participating employees transition into paid employment after their reintegration trajectory.

The operating model is a social enterprise: tasks are executed by volunteers, reintegration participants, refugees (statushouders), and other individuals with a distance to the labor market, all under the supervision of qualified work supervisors (werkbegeleiders). Core staff comprises six people — a project lead, reintegration coordinator, Fixbrigade coordinator, one additional Fixbrigade work supervisor, and two administrative staff — supported by an external confidential person via ENVO and overseen by a four-person Raad van Toezicht. The organization maintains formal operating partnerships with Gemeente Ede (funding and referrals under the 130% income guideline), Energiebank Ede (energy advice), Fixbrigade Nederland (program framework), Werkkracht and Meerbaan (reintegration employment services), and Thuiszorg Vérian (care-sector volunteer placement).

Go-to-market is community-led: customers apply via the website or phone, receive a five-working-day callback, and are assessed through a home visit. Growth relies on word-of-mouth referrals, municipal and social-services channels, and an active Facebook page, with no paid advertising. The organization has no proprietary technology platform and does not disclose financials; its revenue mix comprises customer expense allowances, municipal subsidies, and reintegration program funding. Geographic scope is explicitly restricted to the Ede municipality.

Broad incumbents

• Stichting MEE: Dutch nonprofit supporting people with disabilities and distance to the labor market, including reintegration and participation programs; broader geographic and service scope but overlapping target population and reintegration expertise.
• Mezzo: Dutch association supporting informal caregivers and volunteer organizations; comparable audience (low-income and vulnerable residents, volunteers, reintegration participants) and a national footprint that contrasts with Tot Uw Dienst's single-municipity scope.
• Leger des Heils Nederland: Salvation Army Netherlands operating social welfare, reintegration and household-support programs for vulnerable groups across the country; comparable social enterprise and reintegration DNA but materially larger and broader in scope.
• Humanitas: Large Dutch social services nonprofit operating nationwide with volunteer-driven programs for vulnerable groups including elderly and people with distance to the labor market; broader scope and scale than Tot Uw Dienst but comparable in combining volunteer labor with social assistance.

Others

• UWV (Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen): Dutch government agency that administers employee insurances and refers reintegration candidates to social employment providers; not a competitor but a primary referral and co-funding partner for Tot Uw Dienst's reintegration program.

Direct peers

• De Medewerker Ede: Local volunteer and informal-care support center in Ede that also serves residents on minimum incomes; sits in the same geography, shares referral pathways, and a Raad van Toezicht member (Hester Schouten) previously worked there, making mission and audience tightly aligned.
• Stichting Present: Dutch nonprofit that mobilizes volunteers to provide practical help to people in vulnerable situations; directly comparable in connecting volunteers with low-income households for household tasks, with a broader national footprint across many Dutch municipalities.
• Fixbrigade Nederland: National umbrella foundation running the Fixbrigade program of which Tot Uw Dienst's FixBrigade Ede is a local branch; same energy-poverty mandate, free home energy-saving improvements, and operational model, making it the most directly comparable peer.
• Energiebank Nederland: National foundation that advises energy-poor households and coordinates local Energiebank branches (including Energiebank Ede, a Tot Uw Dienst partner); same target population and energy-poverty alleviation mission with overlapping local execution.

Emerging players

• VluchtelingenWerk Nederland: National Dutch refugee support organization that works with status holders (statushouders) on integration and labor participation; intersects with Tot Uw Dienst on the reintegration-of-refugees dimension and shares a similar volunteer-supervised service ethos.
