Do you want to go out with me?

Function information

Anton is a social and friendly man from 1959 with a mild intellectual disability. He can speak his mind well and is very self-reliant.

He likes walking and cycling, and talkative as he is, he likes to talk about all kinds of things. He also has a sister who lives in Almelo and whom he likes to visit, but he cannot do this independently. That is why Anton is looking for a volunteer who wants to join him once in a while. Anton has a taxi pass that allows his companion to travel for free.

Would you like to go for a walk or cycle with Anton in the evening, and if it clicks, maybe come along to Almelo to visit his sister, we would love to hear from you.
