Ik woon er sinds 2020 en ben met een paar mede bewoners gestart het geheel leefbaarder de maken. We hebben de tuin onderhanden genomen waar nu de mogelijkheid bestaat om samen onder de parasol een drankje te genieten en de bewoners dichter bij elkaar te brengen . Met kerst organiseren wij een treffen met een hapje en een drankje voor de bewoners. Een van de leden van het BOC gaat op pad voor sponsoring waar dus graag aan wordt gegeven. Het BOC zorgt voor de kerstverlichting wat er voorheen nooit is geweest. Het BOC onderhoud contact met de bewoners en springt in als er iets gerepareerd of geregeld moet worden ook als tussen persoon naar de woning vereniging Maasvallei. Maasvallei sponsort elk jaar een bedrag dat wij dan besteden aan het welzijn van de bewoners. Dit was voor 2020 niet denkbaar maar door de inzet van het BOC is er nu eindelijk verandering in gekomen.
