Beetsterzwaag Village Support Center
Like most villages in Opsterland, Beetsterzwaag has a village support center. You can contact the village support center for help and temporary assistance. For example, if you are (temporarily) unable to do your own shopping or walk your dog. Or if you need help filling out difficult forms or have a transportation problem. Do you need someone to listen to you, go for a walk, or have a friendly chat? You are also welcome at the village support center for this.
This is how the village support center works:
The Beetsterzwaag village support center is part of Plaatselijk Belang and consists of a working group and neighborhood contacts. There is regular contact with the municipality's Area Team. The village support center helps residents with questions or problems in all kinds of areas. Your questions will always be treated confidentially. We first look for a solution within the village, with the help of volunteers. If that is not possible or professional help is needed, we will refer you to the Area Team or another institution.

Activities and meetings
The Village Support Center organizes information meetings for neighborhood contacts and/or residents of the village. These meetings cover a variety of topics. For example, about how to continue living at home as long as possible as you get older. More information about the meetings can be found in the village newspaper. Of course, the community contacts will also be happy to tell you more about the activities in the village!
Do you have questions that a professional should answer?
If so, you can also contact the Area Team directly.
