Subsidy - Neighborhood Watch

Do you want to help make your neighbourhood even better, more fun and more beautiful? You can apply for this subsidy if you want to organise an activity in your neighbourhood. The activity must ensure improvement of the contacts between neighbours.

Examples of neighborhood activities include:

  • street/neighborhood parties with activities for young and old
  • street/neighborhood barbecue
  • clean-up actions in a street or neighborhood
  • sports and/or cultural activities in a street or neighborhood
  • renovating and brightening up playgrounds
  • sports activities for children
  • activities around Christmas, New Year's Eve and other celebrations
  • realization of a dog walking area

What you need to know

There are almost no rules for Wijk aan Zet! Everyone can come up with suggestions, ideas and initiatives. It is important that the budget can only be requested for activities that aim to increase social cohesion and for matters that benefit the majority of residents.

Do you want to make an adjustment in the public space? For example, placing a bench? Then you must send a list of signatures as an attachment.

Event

If you use the subsidy to organize an event or another activity in the public area, you must also report this to us. In some cases, you must apply for a permit. 

Apply

Do you want to apply for a subsidy? Do this at least 6 weeks before the activity.
