Delen
De Regenboog Groep is committed to helping homeless people, people with addictions and people with psychiatric problems, both from the Netherlands and abroad. Our Assistance Department helps these people achieve a stable situation and find a new perspective in Amsterdam, elsewhere in the Netherlands or abroad. Our work is systematic and person-oriented: the question behind the (aid) question is central. We go the extra mile to really make a difference and do whatever it takes to help someone move on.
