Due to a shortage of volunteers, holidays for vulnerable groups are in danger of falling into the water | Interior

The demand for holidays for children and young people is greater than the supply. Due to a declining number of volunteers, it is especially acute during holidays and camps for vulnerable target groups. A number of children will not be able to go on holiday, according to Belgian Red Cross-Flanders. “If those children give you a hug with tears in their eyes when you say goodbye, you know why you are doing it”, volunteer Xander Cottens testifies.
