What is that?

The Hague has more than 50 community organizations in which local residents are active in their own particular neighbourhood as volunteers. Our district too, has had just such an association of volunteers for more than 35 years: the Archipel & Willemspark Bewonersorganisatie (A&W Residents Association).

Around 80 residents are involved in the fortunes of the community as board members, members of working parties or short-term projects. The social sofa (located next to the  Cafe Banka) was just such a project completed by Dutch and expat locals. Working parties include the editorial staff on the local newspaper and the website with its electronic newsletter, the team that runs the digital billboard in Albert Heijn and Citronics and committed locals determined to improve the traffic situation, promote sustainability, stay alert to urban planning and preserve the public space and the green areas (Scheveningen Woods and van Repelaer Park) in the A&W. Legal advisors, distributors of the newspaper and the care and well-being group also play an important role in this effort to improve the quality of life in our community. We are all volunteers.

The members of the executive board represent the district in the public arena, and it is their job to provide encouragement, support and a sense of harmony in the community. As well as meeting once a month, the board also convenes public Community Council meetings five times a year in the Klokhuis Community Centre. During these meetings representatives of many local groups and organizations (including the local police service and city council) have a chance to have their say, and they provide an extremely productive platform for the exchange of ideas and views about the different activities and the development of new initiatives. The minutes of each meeting are published on this website.
