One of the regular faces is Mieke. A spry 70-plus man. Mieke is a mood maker, she likes to make people feel comfortable. Despite being in physical discomfort – she is in pain and walks with a walker – she is always busy. “Why am I doing this?” she laughs, “I like to make it fun for everyone. When I’m here I hear all day “Mike, Mike”It’s nice to do something for people. I’m definitely here about four days a week. But it’s not work, you shouldn’t count hours here!”
Margreet is looking for warmth: ‘You volunteer for someone else and for yourself’
