RADoVAN

What RADoVAN does

RadoVan, z.s. is a Czech nonprofit civic association (spolek z.s.) founded in 2019 by Jenda Havel and Tomáš Koubek, delivering integrated social services and adventure experiences for people with physical, neurodevelopmental, and neurodegenerative disabilities, as well as their caregivers. Headquartered in Brno with a registered seat in Dačice, the organisation operates a diversified portfolio of programmes including RadoWork (the first fully accessible shared coworking space in the Czech Republic), RadoBar (a wheelchair-accessible café), an equipment rental library of 30+ mobility and assistive devices, adventure expeditions across 10+ international destinations, psychological and social work counselling, support groups, children's clubs (RadoNaut, ADHD Club, PAS Club), day camps, massage therapy, and regenerative retirement stays for caregivers. The team comprises approximately 15 named professionals spanning social work, physiotherapy, psychology, special education, and peer consulting.

The organisation has no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is human-led through social work, physiotherapy, and field logistics, with client intake via Google Forms and traditional contact channels. Operating geographies are concentrated in Brno and the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic, with expeditions extending internationally. Distribution is conducted through three physical Brno locations (Masarykova 37, Gorkého 34, Jílová 142/30a) and home-visit / field-based service delivery across the region.

Revenue is generated through a diversified but grant-dependent model: primary inflows come from Czech government bodies (Ministry of Health, Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, South Moravian Region, Statutory City of Brno) and EU structural funds (ESF / OP Zaměstnanost plus), supplemented by corporate and foundation grants (ORLEN Unipetrol, Konto Bariéry, ZEMĚKVĚT, Hyundai Mobis), individual donations via darujme.cz, and social enterprise revenue from RadoBar, RadoWork memberships (200–2,000 Kč), equipment rental (5–100 Kč/day), massage services (600–800 Kč), summer camps (1,500–5,400 Kč), and the RadoNaut club (2,000 Kč/year). Core social services are provided free of charge to clients, with paid services cross-subsidising free programmes. RadoVan is not a VAT payer.
