Voerman Foundation
Creating meaningful and sustainable communities. We commit ourselves every day to take care of our people, planet and direct surroundings. We support social projects and charities where we donate our time and attention to contribute in a positive way. We are also very conscious about our use of resources, including with selecting the cars we drive and the packing material we use.
We have chosen kids as a central theme for the coming period. Children are the future and hold the key to prosperity in the long term. We raise money and donate time to fund projects and improve the lives of children.
Only Friends
Only Friends Amsterdam is more than just a sports club—it’s a vibrant, inclusive community where children with differing abilities come together to play, connect, and thrive. Designed with care and creativity, the program offers a supportive space where every child can feel confident, included, and celebrated.
With over 600 members and a wide variety of sports to choose from, Only Friends empowers kids to stay active, build friendships, and discover their own strengths—on and off the field. It’s not just about sports; it’s about belonging, joy, and opportunity for all.
Hockey Dreams Foundation
Hockey Dreams Foundation supports youth development in countries such as Malawi, Uganda, and Zambia by partnering with local communities to spark passion and leadership through field hockey. The foundation helps empower young people by providing training and resources for them to become hockey coaches— enabling them to build leadership skills and pursue new experiences.
These local coaches lead hockey trainings and camps, creating inclusive spaces for children to play, learn, and connect with one another. Through sport, participants gain valuable life skills and form friendships, while coaches continue to mentor and train new leaders, helping to sustain a growing, community-led movement.
