My name is Noortje Bijvelt and I live with my husband and 3 children in Oisterwijk, a town in Noord-Brabant. I have been working for ContourdeTwern, a welfare organization, for almost 15 years now.
On June 1, 2022, I started working as a Coordinator Voluntary Deployment at Samen Opgroeien Tilburg. My job is to match volunteers with families who need additional guidance. Sometimes these families already have appropriate help, and sometimes they’re still waiting for it. A volunteer can make a huge difference in these situations, by simply being there for a family without any judgements or concrete plans. A volunteer can bring back peace within a family.
I’m in contact with several organizations and different groups of people which makes my job extremely divers. I’m in contact with internal counsellors from primary schools, general practitioners, social workers, Sterk Huis, parents and children, volunteers and many more. We have already made a number of great matches and I’m looking forward to the next one!

My name is Robert van Baast. I have been working in the care and welfare domain for a very long time. On June 1, 2022, I started working as a project leader for the Samen Opgroeien Tilburg coalition. I’ve been wanting to be more active in preventing situations from escalating, instead of fixing them, for quite some time. I believe that by deploying a families’ network or neighborhood many problems can be prevented, resulting in less care being needed. This is why the work of Samen Opgroeien Tilburg is so important. By closing gaps between people, they can often help each other through the more difficult times, which can prevent a lot of misery. Let’s keep things simple!
