B&A

At B&A, social workers and advisors in the social domain, our guiding principle is: Every person has their strengths. No one is good at everything. Everyone is (fully) worthy. Whether dealing with individuals facing debt issues, young people with a need for support, or lonely seniors, we always seek to identify someone's talents to boost their self-confidence and provide the support they need to get their life back on track. We prefer to work collaboratively with others in this process.

At B&A, we all operate from a place of optimism, with a healthy sense of change and the belief that every problem has a solution. Our team members, whether advising or implementing, aim to be both a safety net and a springboard for those we serve—offering the proverbial push and, when necessary, a gentle nudge.

We are committed to all residents in the neighborhoods where we work, always involving the people themselves. From children to the elderly, from lonely individuals to searching youth and groups that are often overlooked or underrepresented. We approach this work with practicality, solution-focused strategies, and collaboration in a complex world of fragmented interests, barriers, and bureaucratic layers. We bring empathy but, when needed, also a healthy dose of stubbornness. And our ultimate goal is always results: we consider our work successful when people no longer need us.

B&A operates under various local names in different municipalities. For example, in Amsterdam, we are known as Civic Amsterdam and the Buurtteam Amsterdam Zuidoost. In Diemen, we are Madi Diemen, and in Amersfoort (together with Welzin and Mee), we operate under the name Indebuurt033.
