  1. a

    Promoting the well-being, health, safety and social participation of LGBTQI+ people.

    Offering and developing safe shelter, guidance and housing for LGBTQI+ homeless youth, asylum seekers, refugees and status holders.

    Encouraging, supporting and/or managing an LGBTQI+ asylum seekers' centre (AZC) or a related initiative.

  5. e

    Carrying out anything related to or conducive to the above.

Approach

How we aim to achieve our goals

Wel zo Roze brings together people, organisations and initiatives. The basis for implementation is collaboration with the LGBTQI+ community and the organisations active within it.

  1. 01

    Organising meetup activities

    We connect the LGBTQI+ community, explicitly including LGBTQI+ seniors, with LGBTQI+ homeless youth, asylum seekers and status holders.

  2. 02

    Developing a buddy program

    We pair volunteer LGBTQI+ buddies — young adults, adults and seniors — with LGBTQI+ homeless youth, asylum seekers or status holders, for personal guidance in finding their way in Dutch society.

  3. 03

    Providing host homes

    We work on temporary housing with LGBTQI+ young adults, adults and seniors who are able to offer it.

  4. 04

    Enabling crisis shelter

    We want to contribute to crisis shelter for LGBTQI+ young people aged 12 to 18, always handled carefully and in collaboration with professional partners.

  5. 05

    Other activities

    The foundation also undertakes any other activities that contribute to its purpose.

Collaboration

Collaborating with the community

The basis for implementing these plans is forming partnerships with the LGBTQI+ community and the organisations active within it. Research has shown that around 60 organisations are potentially relevant. In autumn 2026 Wel zo Roze will undertake various activities to involve these organisations and get them excited about collaboration.

Together we're building a network that supports, connects and helps people move forward.

Remuneration policy

Board works on a voluntary basis

Board members receive no remuneration for their work. The internal regulations may however set rules allowing board members to be reimbursed for expenses incurred while carrying out their role.

Any staff that may be hired will be paid in line with the CAO Welzijn (Dutch welfare sector collective labour agreement).
