The Home-Base Support organisation

Many people think that the military homes are a facility organised and managed by the Ministry of Defence. Though the Ministry of Defence is definitely happy with our work, and supports it in several ways, we are an independent non-governmental organisation. Home-Base Support partly depends on involved people, and churches who have been supporting our work financially since many years.

We are an independent foundation managed by a supervisory board. The following people take part in this board:

Supervisory Board:

  • Mr J. van Wijk (chairman), Waspik;
  • Mr A.C. de Graaf RA, Bodegraven;
  • Mr W. van der Linden, Tilburg;
  • Mr W.P. Kramer, Voorst;
  • Mr Drs. H. Laseur, Voorthuizen.
Management:
