Growing older together


We believe in the art of aging together and the art of being older. Our pillars: active aging, inspiring an age-friendly environment and combating loneliness.

And that still is desperately needed. Did you know that almost half of the elderly feel lonely? In fact, more than 500,000 people feel very lonely! For these people, a small gesture has a big impact.

Mission & vision

This is what we stand for:

The National Foundation for Elderly is committed to the elderly in the Netherlands. We believe in the art of aging together and the art of being older. We encourage the elderly to consciously remain socially active. In this way they stay connected with others and can be meaningful. And we inspire society to be an age-friendly society.

This is what we aim for:

Older people are given opportunities and opportunities to grow old as they wish. The elder is involved in society in the way he or she wishes. We focus on three pillars: stimulating active aging, inspiring an age-friendly environment and combating loneliness.
