Travel with Your Heart Foundation – Much More Than Just a Holiday

The Corendon Foundation supports Travel with Your Heart Foundation, a public benefit organization (ANBI) that has been helping people living at or below the poverty line for ten years. For many families and individuals in the Netherlands, a holiday or even a simple day out is out of reach. Yet such a short escape can make a world of difference: letting go of worries for a while, recharging, and regaining perspective.

In 2024, the foundation organized around 740 day trips and short holidays. These activities are more than just moments of relaxation. They help break the vicious cycle of stress and hardship, restore balance within families, and open the door to new insights and personal growth.

Travel with Your Heart works closely with local, regional, and national care professionals. These professionals nominate families and guide them through the process, ensuring that the positive effects of a holiday continue to resonate in daily life after their return. This collaborative approach also strengthens the trust between families and their care providers.

Most holidays take place within the Netherlands. This is practical, as many participants have no transportation of their own and it provides a safe environment for families who are less resilient due to prolonged stress. Some groups enjoy a shared holiday where children make new friends and parents connect with each other. The foundation also organizes day trips—to amusement parks, playgrounds, or zoos—to help families break up the long summer holidays.

This approach creates moments of relaxation and opportunities for a fresh start—a goal the Corendon Foundation is proud to support.
