I help Bibi Fazal from the Welschenflats. She tries to give people with a small budget little groceries that residents of Overschie donate. She selflessly offers help with clothing, organises things, and sometimes cooks. Makes Christmas and Easter more fun and works together with Plus, Zeeman, the Protestant church, etc. The help is small-scale but more and more people join in. I think that's a boost. And HWD every Tuesday jumble sale and singers performing and working together with other parties that do something social for the elderly and young people. Thea and Chris cook 100 meals every week for lonely vulnerable elderly people on Tuesdays, free of charge. And recently second-hand clothing and bric-a-brac knick-knacks on Thursday in a little shop at Ameide Street, 10 to 2. So many good initiatives done through cooperation by volunteers. Top people. And the volunteers of Schoon en Heel Roelland, from the board and Leefbaar, who focus on what can be improved.

About Willem de Zwijgerstraat 8F, Rotterdam
The rent is 17% above the neighbourhood average of €2,487, but this apartment is larger (121 m²) and has an A+++ energy label, which is exceptional for a 1928 building. The price per m² is about €24, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €26.15 per m². So while the total is high, you get more space and efficiency.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with low heating and electricity costs. Given the 1928 construction year, the building has likely been thoroughly renovated to achieve this label.
The nearest train station is 3.3 km away, which is about a 10-minute cycle or a short bus ride.
