About this app

BuurtHeld connects local residents and helpful young people for small jobs in their own street or neighborhood. Need help with groceries, watering plants, putting out trash, or taking out the recycling? Post a job and a young person from the neighborhood will take it on.

FOR RESIDENTS
• Easily post a job and choose a day and time.
• One dedicated handyman is possible, or let the system match the most suitable young person.

• Pay safely and transparently; you see the cost of a job in advance.

• Holiday help: create a route of multiple tasks for the period you are away, handled by one handyman.

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE (ages 10 to 15)
• Earn some pocket money doing odd jobs for people in your own neighborhood.

• Always with permission from a parent or guardian.

• You can see your schedule, earnings, and progress in one overview. FOR PARENTS AND STREET MANAGERS
• Parents give secure consent and keep track of what their child does.

• Every street has a manager who approves new participants.

• Adults are verified via iDIN (bank-based identity check).

SAFE AND CLOSE BY
• Neighborhood-based: you only participate in your own street or neighborhood.

• Parental consent for minors is built in.

• No public profiles of children; privacy comes first (GDPR).

• A report button for when something doesn't feel right.

SUSTAINABLE AND SOCIAL
• Recycling route: deposits, batteries, glass, and paper disposed of all at once.

• Small gesture, big difference: BuurtHeld strengthens the bond in the neighborhood.

BuurtHeld is a platform for real help in the physical world: no digital content, but neighbors lending a hand in the neighborhood.
