Reggeborgh Foundation enters into special partnership with Villa Pardoes
The Villa provides accommodation for families with a child who has a serious illness or condition. ‘This often has a major impact on the whole family. Here, they can spend time together during that week and let the illness fade into the background for a while,’ says Daniëlle Heere of Villa Pardoes. Villa Pardoes has an Esther Vergeer Sportcourt in the garden, where weekly sports clinics are given by specially trained instructors from the Esther Vergeer Foundation. Reggeborgh Foundation has entered into a partnership with Villa Pardoes to cover part of the costs of these clinics.
Thanks to the donation from Reggeborgh Foundation, the weekly sports clinics can be provided. ‘These clinics are not only intended for sick children, but also for their brothers and sisters. They can also participate in wheelchair basketball, for example. And how fun is it to suddenly be better than your brother or sister?’ says Heere.
Reggeborgh Foundation is proud of its partnership with Villa Pardoes. The foundation believes it is important that every child has the opportunity to participate in sports and is committed to a healthy future for everyone. The Esther Vergeer Sports Court has a special soft surface so that wheelchair users can also enjoy it to the fullest.
Children staying at Villa Pardoes have, for example, a muscle disease or are being treated at the Princess Máxima Centre. As guests of Villa Pardoes, they also receive a week-long access pass to the Efteling theme park. All kinds of activities are organised in and around the Villa to make the holiday week an unforgettable experience.
‘We hold a Variety Show, have a bubble paradise and organise pancake evenings. Thanks to the donation from Reggeborgh Foundation, we can continue to offer these sports activities to our guests. We are extremely happy about that.’
