Last week, councillor Marianne Poelman the official launch of the new Clothing bus Súdwest-Fryslân!
The Clothing Bus was born out of an initiative by Kees van Kordelaar, then diaconal worker at Titus Brandsmaparochie in Bolsward. Ventura Systems was involved from the beginning: at the time, we provided the first bus to be used as a mobile clothing shop. Since then, the Clothing Bus has travelled weekly to various villages in the municipality of Súdwest-Fryslân.
The aim? To provide quality clothing for a small fee, as well as to create a place where people can meet and strengthen social contacts.
Thanks to Ventura Aid, our community involvement scheme, we were once again able to play a role in the realisation of the new bus. Together with the foundation, we helped in finding a suitable vehicle, improving the door systems as well as providing financial support.
We wish Foundation Clothing Bus SWF many safe miles and hope that as many people in the community as possible can benefit.
