MOVISIE is the Netherlands centre for social development. Our mission is to promote the participation and independence of citizens. We do this by supporting and advising professional organizations, volunteer organizations and government institutions in the field of welfare, care and social development. Five themes are central to our work: Informal Care, Vulnerable Groups, Volunteer Effort, Domestic and Sexual Violence, Social Cohesion.
Involved and results-oriented
MOVISIE is involved, demand-driven and results-oriented. We gear our services to the needs in our workfields. And we want our results to be measurable wherever possible: to make our contributions to society transparent. In our work we take account of the diversity of people to avoid exclusion of particular groups.
Who we work for
We are at the centre of local practice. This focus clearly comes to the fore in our support for the introduction and implementation of the Social Support Act (Wmo).
With the financial support of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, MOVISIE carries out numerous projects emanating from the Wmo. But we also work with a wide range of (care) institutions, foundations, municipalities, other ministries and companies. Professionals are invited to make direct use of the knowledge and expertise of MOVISIE. We are on hand to offer tailor-made advice and support in response to your specific queries and needs.
