The Share the Power community day is aimed at people with HIV, their partners, friends, family members and other involved parties. Tickets are € 10,00. If you aren’t able to join the programme until later in the day, that’s not a problem.
If you have limited spending power, you can get a half-price admission ticket. So, you only pay € 5,00. Don’t let lack of money stop you from coming. You can also get a compensation to your travel expenses. Call Juliette Kuling at Volle Maan: 020 524 60 90. Or send an e-mail to juliette@volle-maan.nl
If you can afford it, you can demonstrate your solidarity with others by paying half of their ticket price. When ordering, you can indicate that you want to pay € 5,00 extra. This allows someone on a limited budget to get a half-price ticket.
Call or e-mail Juliette Kuling: 020 524 60 90 or juliette@volle-maan.nl
Free professional childcare is available for children up to 12 years old. Children under 12 years old do not need an admission ticket, but it is very important that you register your child for childcare.
