Super-Actief

Founded in 2014, Super-Actief is a community organisation based in Rotterdam, Netherlands working on elderly care, community development, children & youth.

Super-Actief is a Rotterdam foundation (Stichting Super-Actief) with an ANBI public-benefit status that works to strengthen neighbourhood wellbeing. Its main focus is reducing loneliness among older residents of De Esch and Kralingen-Crooswijk so they can live independently for longer. It does this through volunteer-led home visits, matching older residents with volunteer 'wijksteunvrienden', group outings, neighbourhood meetings and practical help with administration. It also runs a children's holiday camp for children aged 6 to 12 and supports resident-led initiatives and cross-generational activities that bring together children, older people and different cultures. The foundation works in partnership with local welfare organisations, the municipality of Rotterdam and funders, and is funded through a mix of grants, donations and sponsorship.
