Our mission

We believe, and see every day, that something magical happens when companies, social organizations, knowledge institutions, and local governments truly come together. Samen voor onze Regio creates those encounters. We ensure that social organizations receive extra hands, time, and talent from corporate volunteers to deepen and advance their work. And we help companies to give their social involvement a place that fits who they are — not as a separate project, but as part of their story.

This creates a way of working together that contributes to mutual understanding and to a region where people look out for each other.

Every activity we organize contributes to one or more of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals: shared goals for a fair, social, and future-proof world.

Our core values

Collaborate

Connect

Inspire

We believe in the power of collaboration. By connecting businesses, social organizations, and governments, we create sustainable partnerships in which everyone contributes their talents to the region. Together, we make a social impact and build a stronger, more inclusive society.

We connect people in need of assistance with corporate volunteers who want to devote their time, knowledge, and skills to helping others. This creates valuable contact between worlds that would otherwise rarely meet, and we strengthen engagement in the region.

We inspire companies and professionals to engage in socially responsible business practices. By facilitating meaningful volunteer work, we demonstrate how commitment to others leads to a sense of purpose, job satisfaction, and lasting engagement.
