Any inhabitants in this situation can contact the municipal service centre Startpunt (Rooseveltweg 408A, Wageningen).
Startpunt has experts who can help residents find the right assistance. For example, the centre has people who can help you fill in an application for an allowance to cover your energy bill. The municipal council is also offering Special Support for local residents who don’t qualify for that allowance. This scheme applies as well to students who get into financial difficulties due to the current situation.
Green-Left councillor Marre Adu-Ampong posted this news on the Wageningen Student Plaza Facebook group in the hope of reaching a lot of students. ‘Don’t hesitate to ask for help. If you know anyone who could use this information, please share this with them.’ So here you are.
