Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur makes it possible for children and young people from families with little money to take part in football, music lessons, gymnastics, street dance, judo, theatre lessons or another sporting or creative activity. For those children and young people, we pay the contribution/tuition fees and in some cases the necessities such as football uniforms or dance shoes.

On 9 July 2020, the Maastrichts Sportakkoord was signed at the van der Valk Hotel in Maastricht. In June, a number of relevant partners already started working on the realisation of this sports agreement. In this local sports agreement, sports associations, commercial sports providers, institutions from education, welfare and care, event organisers, the business community and the municipality have laid down their sporting ambitions for the city. With this collection of dreams and concrete agreements, the participants will set to work in the coming years to put sports and exercise even better on the map in Maastricht.

With more than a million people nationwide practicing football, it is a valuable resource. Trainers often spot financial worries on the pitch (think of damaged shoes or clothes) and treasurers see dues deposits. However, they often do not know how to act in these situations. By offering them tools for this from the Niemand Buitenspel programme, the club also dares to lend a helping hand sooner. The added value for clubs lies in the fact that many people want to play sports but do not have the financial means to do so. By making better use of the available arrangements (for membership fees but also for other arrangements), people can participate again / more easily and it can partly be prevented that club members deregister due to financial concerns.
