Hockey Foundation and HC 's-Hertogenbosch connect sport with society
At HC 's-Hertogenbosch, not only sports are central, but social engagement also plays a crucial role. This was reaffirmed during an inspiring meeting between Chaimae Fadis, ambassador of the Hockey Foundation, and Jacques Brinkman, the former hockey legend who has more than earned his stripes on the field and now uses his passion and experience as a club coach to serve the community in 's-Hertogenbosch.
Jacques Brinkman, whose hockey talent is undeniable, has shifted his focus to coaching coaches and developing community projects. His work extends from the green fields of HC 's-Hertogenbosch to schoolyards and neighborhoods in the surrounding area. He is a fervent advocate of sports as a tool for positive change and sees it as a powerful outlet for all ages, with a particular emphasis on children.
A key element of Brinkman's approach is overcoming barriers to participation. By actively involving children in sports, even outside their immediate neighborhood, he helps them develop valuable skills and engage in positive social interactions. This work is made possible in part by the support of local authorities and sponsors, including Rabobank, who recognize and support the value of these initiatives.
In a moving speech, Brinkman shared the story of a young man whose life took a positive turn thanks to his involvement in sports. This example illustrates the unprecedented potential that sports can have to transform lives and bring communities together.
Finally, Jacques Brinkman urged everyone to be active not only within their sports club, but also beyond. By rolling up their sleeves in neighborhoods and at schools, they can help make sports even more enjoyable and make a real contribution to society.
At HC 's-Hertogenbosch, we are proud of this social dimension of our club and encourage everyone to take Jacques Brinkman's message to heart: let sport be a means to enrich the world around us.

With your heart foundation
The Met je hart Foundation is committed to helping seniors who live independently, have difficulty leaving the house, and rarely meet people. It alleviates loneliness among seniors by connecting them with volunteers and each other.
We support Met je hart by regularly inviting them for lunch in our restaurant and by donating the deposit proceeds from November every year.
Social partner Rabobank supports these initiatives.
