Stichting Veldwerk Haaglanden

What Stichting Veldwerk Haaglanden does

Stichting Veldwerk Haaglanden is a Dutch nonprofit foundation (stichting) founded in 2022 and headquartered in 's-Gravenhage (The Hague), with a storage and goods-drop location in Pijnacker, Zuid-Holland. The organization provides street-based outreach and humanitarian support to homeless and vulnerably housed individuals in the Haaglanden region. Its core service is "veldwerk" (fieldwork), in which unpaid volunteers go directly to homeless people in their own environment three evenings per week, providing food, drink, clothing, sleeping bags, tents, and toiletries, as well as longer-term support in finding housing, employment, and healthcare.

The service portfolio comprises street outreach, a buddy/companion program (Maatjes) for individuals with mental health backgrounds, a preparation volunteer role (Voorbereiders) that sorts clothing and fills the outreach van in Pijnacker, and material aid distribution. The organization is governed by an unpaid three-member board (Chair Peter Strating, Treasurer Kurt Verhees, Secretary Nicoline van der Tang), operates with five board members and an unstated number of additional volunteers, and holds ANBI status (RSIN 864083324) with KvK number 86787950.

The business model is entirely donation-funded: the organization accepts one-time financial gifts and tax-deductible periodic gifts (periodieke giften), as well as in-kind donations of clothing, sleeping bags, tents, and other essentials. All services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries, and the organization is supported through a coalition of partnerships with Gemeente Den Haag, Straatconsulaat, Straatpastoraat, Christelijk Wijkcentrum de Rank, Leger des Heils, and the Politie. There is no proprietary technology, no AI/ML capability, and no commercial pricing model; outreach is purely volunteer-driven and inspired by Christian faith.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• De Regenboog Groep: Amsterdam-based umbrella nonprofit for organizations serving homeless people, drug users, and sex workers. Comparable outreach, drop-in, and case-management model operating in the same Dutch social-services segment.
• HVO-Querido: Amsterdam-based housing and support organization for homeless people, rough sleepers, and people with psychiatric or addiction backgrounds. Comparable service mix (housing, employment, healthcare navigation) at much larger scale and a strong Dutch sector benchmark.
• Leger des Heils Nederland: The Dutch arm of the Salvation Army is a national-scale provider of homeless outreach, shelter, and social services. It is explicitly named as a core partner of Veldwerk Haaglanden and serves the same target group with overlapping but much larger capabilities. Direct peer because both operate street-level services for homeless individuals in the same region.
• Straatpastoraat: Faith-based street pastors providing presence, conversation, and referral support to homeless people in Dutch cities. Comparable to Veldwerk's volunteer-driven, relationship-first outreach approach and explicitly listed as a partner serving the same target group.
• Straatconsulaat: The Hague-based Street Consulate provides outreach, legal aid, and advocacy for homeless and undocumented individuals. It is a named core partner of Veldwerk Haaglanden and offers an almost identical street-presence model to the same population in the same geography.

Broad incumbents

• Cordaid: One of the largest Dutch development and humanitarian NGOs, with domestic social-inclusion programming alongside international work. Comparable ANBI status and fundraising apparatus, but operates at far greater scale across many issue areas.

Emerging players

• Stichting Zwerfjongeren Nederland: Dutch national organization focused on homeless youth ("zwerfjongeren"). Comparable in mission and volunteer-driven DNA, but specialized in a youth sub-segment of the same population Veldwerk serves.
• Stichting De Daklozenkrant: National Dutch foundation supporting homeless people through a street newspaper and direct outreach services. Comparable grassroots, volunteer-supported model and target population, but operates nationally rather than region-locked.

Others

• Gemeente Den Haag / Maatschappelijke Opvang: The municipality of The Hague's social-shelter and outreach division. Not a peer charity but a regulator/funder of the same population; Veldwerk's core partner referral channel for housing and benefits access.
• Kerk in Actie (Protestantse Kerk in Nederland): Diaconal arm of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands, funding and operating faith-inspired social-support projects including for homeless people. Comparable faith-rooted DNA and donor base, but functions primarily as a funder rather than direct service provider.
