Loneliness affects us all. In the long term, loneliness leads to health problems, reduced work performance, and a high risk of burnout. To engage the entire Hilversum community on this issue, Hilversum has a local coalition, "One Against Loneliness." Within this coalition, Hilversum organizations, businesses, and associations work together to create a more inclusive society.
What do you need to know
The local coalition wants to start a broad movement in Hilversum that:
- Raising awareness: ensuring that loneliness is seen and continues to receive attention
- Breaking the taboo: ensuring that loneliness can be discussed and encouraging us to talk about it together
- Connection strengthened: ensures that it is normal and natural in Hilversum to look after each other and make contact.
What the local coalition expects
A member of the local coalition is expected to:
- Contribute to the shared goals of the coalition based on their own strengths and capabilities
- Actively put the theme of loneliness on the agenda within your own organization and network
- Spread knowledge and insights about loneliness within their own organization and network
- Collaborate with other coalition members to join forces and strengthen initiatives.
In this way, members are part of a broad movement of motivated people and organizations from various sectors, who together pool knowledge, inspiration and action to combat and prevent loneliness in Hilversum.
