Volunteer

If you would like to volunteer or are looking for volunteers, check out the Volunteer Service Point. Here you will find all information about volunteering in Aalten. The Vrijwilligers Service Punt also provides advice on volunteering and social internship.

Volunteer Insurance

If you do volunteer work, you are not always properly insured. Therefore, the municipality of Aalten has taken out a volunteer insurance for all volunteers . You are therefore automatically insured. This means that you are insured if you have an accident or cause damage.

Volunteer insurance is a second (secondary) coverage. This means that your own liability insurance, or that of the institution for which you perform activities, always takes precedence over the municipality's volunteer insurance. It is also called a "safety net" insurance policy. We recommend that you do not cancel your own insurance.

Who is insured

Every volunteer is insured with the municipality's volunteer insurance. It does not matter how old you are, what kind of volunteer work you do or how often you do it. Even if you do a social internship, you are insured.
If you volunteer with the fire department or police, you are not insured through this insurance.

Damage

You cause damage or have an accident while volunteering. Then fill out the damage form. Submit this form to the municipality.
