  • street/neighborhood festivals with activities for young and old
  • street/neighborhood barbecue
  • cleanup efforts in a street or neighborhood
  • sports and/or cultural activities in a street or neighborhood
  • refurbishing and brightening up playgrounds
  • sports activities for children

What you need to know

There are almost no ground rules established for Wijk aan Zet! Anyone can come up with suggestions, ideas and initiatives. Importantly, the budget can only be applied for activities that aim to increase social cohesion and for things that benefit the majority of residents.

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

Event

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

Request

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