Applying for informal care appreciation

Mantel Care Appreciation

The municipality of Moerdijk is proud of informal caregivers and the commitment to a family member, friend or neighbor. To thank them, you can apply every year from November 10 to February 10 for a Mantelzorgwaardering. The Mantelzorgwaardering consists of a gift certificate Moerdijk of €35 to spend at entrepreneurs in Moerdijk. Surplus arranges this appreciation. Read the Questions & Answers below for more information and to make sure you qualify for the Mantelzorgwaardering.

The Municipality of Moerdijk recognizes the great importance of informal caregivers! Therefore, as a token of appreciation, the informal care appreciation voucher has been created. This voucher is intended for informal caregivers who provide long-term, intensive and unpaid care for a loved one who lives in the municipality of Moerdijk. It is therefore important that the person for whom you care -the caretaker- lives in the municipality of Moerdijk. Also young family caregivers (younger than 25 years) are eligible.  

  • The appreciation voucher has a value of €35 per caregiver. 
  • The municipality shall establish a maximum amount of €140 per caregiver available. This means that a maximum of 4 family caregivers per caregiver can be registered.  
  • The appreciation voucher (Gift certificate Moerdijk) can be spent at various local entrepreneurs in the municipality of Moerdijk. Which ones these are can be found in the booklet that will be issued with the appreciation voucher from March 2026.  

Applications and shipping 

  • The caregiver can apply for the appreciation themselves and indicate who the caregiver is. 
  • A maximum of 4 appreciation vouchers per address can be requested. 
  • The appreciation voucher can be from Nov. 10, 2025 to Feb. 10 2026 be requested 
  • You will automatically receive a confirmation after the application. Please read and keep it carefully. 
  • The closing date for applying for the appreciation voucher is Feb. 10, 2026. After this date, all applications will be reviewed and processed. 
  • After verifying the applications, the receipts will be mailed to you in March 2026.  
  • The informal care appreciation should every year be reapplied for, because the informal care situation may change. Even if you are already registered as a volunteer caregiver with mantelzorg moerdijk, you will not automatically receive an appreciation voucher.  
  • When you apply for the informal care appreciation, you will be registered as an informal caregiver with Mantelzorg Moerdijk. With that you will also receive our newsletter. Through this newsletter you will receive, among other things, updates about the volunteer care appreciation.  

 

Conditions of application  

You are eligible for an appreciation voucher if: 

  • You provide long-term, intensive and unpaid care and/or support to a neighbor- the caregiver- from your area who has a long-term illness, disability or needs help. This could be, for example, a partner, parent, child, neighbor or close friend. Young family caregivers (under the age of 24) are also eligible. 
  • The caregiver (the person you care for) in the municipality of Moerdijk lives. A maximum of 4 appreciation vouchers can be requested per caregiver and address. 
  • The care you provide is more than the usual help. Usual care is the help that can reasonably be expected from partners, parents, live-in children or other housemates. Examples include the care and upbringing of healthy children, babysitting healthy grandchildren, caring for a sick partner for a few days, or helping in the household when someone has temporary physical symptoms. Informal care is more than that. It is more intense, takes longer and requires more of you as a caregiver.

Suggestion/Addition:


First read this...

You care or support unpaid for at least 3 months, 8 hours per week your partner, child, family member or friend. You are then an informal caregiver. For example, for your partner with cancer, a father with dementia, a friend with manic depression or a child with autism.

The person for whom you are a caregiver is called the care recipient. The care recipient lives independently or in a care facility in the municipality of Moerdijk.

The informal caregiver does not have to live in the municipality of Moerdijk.

No, if you receive payment for support then you cannot apply for Mantelzorgwaardering.

As a caregiver, you do not have to live in the municipality of Moerdijk yourself. The place of residence of the caretaker is decisive in this.

A total of four individuals may apply for a Mantelzorgwaardering for one caregiver. 

If the caregiver died this year, you may still apply for a Mantelzorgwaardering for this year.

The Mantelzorgwaardering consists of a Mantelzorgbon of €35,-. The Mantelzorgbon is a gift certificate Moerdijk. You can hand this in at local entrepreneurs in Moerdijk. For more information see: Gift certificate Moerdijk

The gift certificate Moerdijk works very simply. Just like an ATM card. The advantage is that the amount can be spent in parts.

For more information see: Gift certificate Moerdijk

You can use the gift card to enjoy local shopping and food & drink at all participating local entrepreneurs in Moerdijk. You can spend the gift card at many different stores and restaurants. So you choose from a wide range of fun gifts and outings.

For current offerings, visit: Gift certificate Moerdijk

You will receive the Mantel Care Voucher in March. 

The Mantelzorgwaardering must be requested every year. Even if your situation has not changed.

Young family caregivers can also apply for the family care appreciation.

Please fill in all fields truthfully. If we have any questions about your application, we will contact you.

We process your data in our system. Surplus handles personal data with care, according to the guidelines of the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG). By applying for the Mantelzorgwaardering, the caregiver and the care recipient agree to this.

Are you no longer a family caregiver due to death, moving to another community or because family care support is no longer needed?

Via mantelzorg.moerdijk@surplus.nl or Mantelzorg Moerdijk 076 - 20 82 200 you can deregister as a caregiver. We do not receive messages of death from the municipality of Moerdijk, because of the AVG.
