New Guide for Utrecht families with little money

This month the new Guide for Utrecht families with little money. The booklet can be used by parents, professionals, interns, and volunteers alike. This guide was first published in 2022.

Guide helps families on their way
In Utrecht, more than 1 in 10 children grow up in a family with limited financial resources. There's plenty of support available for these families, but not everyone knows how to find it. The Wegwijzer (Guide to Support) helps with this. The Wegwijzer lists the available support by theme, including groceries, clothing, school supplies, sports, as well as funding and municipal assistance.

Get the Signpost
The Wegwijzer is free. You can pick it up at the Geldzaak, Drift 11, Monday through Friday between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM. Later this month, copies will also be distributed to Neighborhood Teams Utrecht locations, primary schools, libraries, and Youth Health Centers.

Do you want to know more?
Send an email to wegwijzer@u-centraal.nl.
