"Thanks to Meet and Participate Leovardia, I have a social life again."

"I volunteered with the Sunflower. From that position, I regularly sent people to Leovardia," says Lolkje "When I suffered a concussion myself, I couldn't cope with anything anymore. I sat at home for more than a year and wanted to be among people again. That's why I decided to go here myself. That was a good choice. I'm all getting to know people here and we all do fun things."

Meet and Join Leovardia is every Tuesday afternoon in the canteen of SC Leovardia. Staff from Amaryllis, together with students from learning company FP neighbours Firda, organise a fun afternoon for a group of about 16 very different people.

"I especially like the craft afternoon," Lolkje explains. "I found out that more people want to do crafts more often. So I also organised a craft afternoon at my home. That was great fun. I also take a walk every Monday afternoon with someone I met here and play rummikub once a month. Thanks to these afternoons, I have a social life again."
