Are you in?
At Kansrijk Brandevoort, it’s all about connection. We organise activities where residents can meet, help one another and find solutions together to both small and larger issues. In this way, we ensure that everyone can continue to play an active part. Our activities are largely made possible by committed and enthusiastic volunteers.
Having lunch together
Gather round the table for a chat and some fun
Having lunch together is more fun
So why not join us for a cosy lunch at 't BrandPunt? Enjoy some delicious food, have a chat with locals and get to know some new faces.
Getting together around the table
Lunch is all about getting together. You might bump into an old acquaintance or strike up a conversation with someone you haven’t met before. At the table, enjoyable conversations, new connections and precious moments together often arise naturally. Everyone is welcome, and you can just be yourself.
Something tasty every time
We serve something different every time. Think of a hot bowl of soup, a fried egg, a pasty or a delicious pancake. The atmosphere is relaxed and homely. Coffee and tea are included with lunch.
Come and join us
Do pop in, take a seat at the table and discover how lovely it is to eat together and meet new people.

Chat Café
Meet people from Brandevoort and practise your Dutch
Let’s practise Dutch together
Would you like to improve your Dutch and meet other people from Brandevoort? Then come along to the chat café. You don’t need to speak Dutch very well yet: taking part and having fun are what matter most.
What are we talking about?
During the chat café, you’ll chat in Dutch about everyday topics, such as:
- go shopping;
- a visit to the doctor, dentist or physiotherapist;
- football and other sports;
- Dutch customs;
- food from the Netherlands and your own country.
Speaking and listening are key
You’ll mainly practise speaking and listening. We don’t do grammar lessons, and you don’t need to construct perfect Dutch sentences.
Date and time
Every Wednesday at 10.30 am
Every Thursday at 8.00 pm

Connecting Helmond Brandevoort Internationals (CHI)
Connecting Dutch people and international staff
CHI is a key concept in Taoism and stands for connection. That is precisely what Connecting Helmond Brandevoort Internationals stands for: bringing internationals and other residents in Brandevoort into contact with one another.
A neighbourhood with many nationalities
People of various nationalities and backgrounds live in our neighbourhood. Some are staying here temporarily, whilst others have settled permanently in Brandevoort. However, feeling at home and becoming part of the local community does not always come naturally.
Taking part in activities together
Kansrijk is keen to contribute to this by organising various activities on Sunday afternoons. By coming together, sharing experiences and getting to know other cultures, we foster greater understanding and connection. This is enriching for everyone.
International staff contribute ideas
International staff contribute ideas. The international staff actively contribute their ideas to the programme and activities. A good example of this is our kletscafés, waar deelnemers elkaar in een informele sfeer kunnen ontmoeten en de Nederlandse taal kunnen oefenen.

Two-person bikes
Cycling together, sharing experiences
Would you like to go cycling again, but find you can no longer do so unaided?
With the side-by-side tandem, you can still enjoy a lovely outing. Enjoy the fresh air, the surroundings and a pleasant afternoon together in the Brandevoort area.
When are we going for a bike ride?
From April to October, we go cycling once a month. We start and finish at the 't BrandPunt community centre.
The cycle tour starts at around 1.15 pm and lasts until about 4.15 pm. In the event of bad weather, we will reschedule the tour for another time.
Register
Would you like to come along? If so, please get in touch with Marijke Verhoeven on 06 43576718 or via the contact form on the website.
There are a maximum of 6 tandem bikes available. That’s usually enough to let everyone join in the ride.
We hope to see you soon for a lovely bike ride through Brandevoort and the surrounding area!
