Fundraising campaign for extra Van Raam Fun2Go

To give residents an extra opportunity to use the Van Raam Fun2Go in the nursing home, Careyn Maria-Oord has started a fundraising campaign. From 1 to 30 April 2021, Tour de Maria-Oord will be organised. Donors can donate an amount and receive something in return. For example, a donation of €25 will enable donors to take an hour-long ride on the Fun2Go duo bicycle together with an elderly person. For €30, donors receive a piece of cheese from Kaasboerderij Sterreschans and for €35, they can ride for an hour on the Fun2Go, followed by coffee and cake.

Platform "Voor de Ouderen" supports fundraiser

The nursing home set up the fundraiser via the online platform "Voor de Ouderen". This platform supports fundraising activities aimed at the welfare of the elderly. Stichting RCOAK, Fonds Sluyterman van Loo, Stichting Dioraphte and Fonds 1818 together form the platform voordeouderen.nl. Initiatives in the Netherlands that focus on activating the elderly can use the fundraising platform. Initiatives have a chance of winning a contribution of up to €2.000 and up to 50 percent of their target amount from the platform. Careyn Maria-Oord nursing home has received the maximum amount of €2.000.

Fun2Go side-by-side tandem by Van Raam

The Fun2Go side-by-side tandem by Van Raam is a tricycle where the driver and co-driver sit next to each other. One person steers and both persons can pedal. Both persons have a good view of the road and surroundings and can easily communicate with each other. This makes the Fun2Go a popular bicycle for care institutions.
