AMSTERDAM – 2025 was a year of tremendous growth for Beep for Help. With our nationwide rollout starting in May, we have expanded our mission—supporting seniors and caregivers with everyday tasks—to thirteen regions.

In these locations, we support seniors and caregivers with everyday tasks. With 68 active Superhelpers currently on board, we are making a bigger difference every day than ever before.

The past year was all about proximity and availability. Where we were previously strong mainly at a local level, we are now a familiar face across a large part of the Netherlands. Thanks to the efforts of our growing group of Superhelpers, those seeking help can continue living independently for longer, and caregivers receive structural relief.

Beep for Help in the spotlight

Our mission did not go unnoticed in 2025. Various national media outlets highlighted our approach, and we shared our expertise with the business market:

  • National press: Stories about our impact appeared in Het Parool and De Telegraaf, and we were featured on Hart van Nederland. These segments showed how our Superhelpers provide fast and flexible assistance where traditional routes often take too long.
  • 'Reinventing HR' webinar (October 9): Together with partners Great Place to Work and Rvdb, we hosted an inspiring webinar. We discussed how employers can support their staff by offering caregiver support as a modern employee benefit.
  • NH Radio (NH Helpt): On November 12, our HR manager Margreth van Kuijl was a guest to talk about our growing impact and the power of local help.

The year in numbers

The growth of Beep for Help is best reflected in the data. This year, we welcomed new regions and helpers every month:

  • 52 new Superhelpers have joined us.
  • Our services are now available in 13 regions.
  • Monthly growth: a new group of helpers was activated every month in 2025.

Strong presence in the Randstad

We have significantly strengthened our presence in the Randstad, but we are now also starting to gain a foothold outside of it.

Region/Cities: Hilversum, Leiden, Rijswijk, Capelle aan den IJssel, Amersfoort, Schiedam, Vlaardingen, Haarlem, Delft, The Hague, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Amstelveen.

The living room of Rotterdam

In Rotterdam, our office has grown into a warm meeting place for the neighborhood. Here, we combine our mission with a welcoming atmosphere, a good cup of coffee, and delicious pastries. The figures for our meeting place in 2025 speak for themselves. Our guests know where to find us for a moment of rest or a chat. In total, we served:

  • 1,151 cups of coffee and tea (including 1,045 cups of coffee!).
  • Nearly 300 pastries, with apple pie being the absolute favorite (190 slices sold).
  • ‍‍In addition to being a drop-in space, we organized various activities to combat loneliness and bring neighbors together.

More than just numbers: our impact

Behind every number lies a personal story. For us, the growth in 2025 primarily means:

  1. More supply: A larger pool of vetted, enthusiastic Superhelpers.
  2. More reach: Help is now available in locations where it previously wasn't.
  3. More impact: Every day, we see how small gestures make a big difference in the quality of life for those we help.

We would like to thank all our care recipients and, of course, our Superhelpers for this fantastic year. Here’s to an even better 2026!
