CKE Café C

On Saturday, July 11, you’re warmly invited to another Gouden Glans afternoon at CKE. This time, we’ll be combining music and textiles in a relaxed and cozy atmosphere.

We’ll start by singing together. Accompanied by Tanneke on the piano, we’ll sing well-known hits from different eras. You’re welcome to join in, or just listen—it’s all about having fun and enjoying music together.

In addition, you can get creative with textiles together with Lisa. We’ll be crocheting and making granny squares, and anyone who wants to can embroider on cards or photos. No strict pattern this time—just work freely and try something new. You don’t need to bring anything or have any experience, and of course, you can take home whatever you make.

As always, we’ll provide coffee, tea, and a warm welcome. You’re more than welcome to join in or just come sit with us.

Creativity and culture accessible to everyone

For seniors, outings and social activities aren’t always a given. Yet doing fun things together brings joy. Sharing a cup of coffee, chatting, doing something enjoyable, or savoring a beautiful performance: it adds color and sparkle to life. With the Gouden Glans afternoons, we create wonderful moments. In this way, we make culture and creativity visible and accessible to everyone.

Partnership with De Witte Raaf

Gouden Glans is a partnership between CKE and De Witte Raaf. Together, we provide a pleasant afternoon for seniors living independently. De Witte Raaf picks up the participants at home and brings them back. CKE organizes the program, sets the atmosphere, and provides the cultural experience. We work collaboratively to create a series of afternoons centered on art, culture, and social interaction. In this way, we make culture accessible to everyone.The Gouden Glans afternoons are made possible in part by a grant from the Sluyterman van Loo Fund.

In our programme there is always something to experience
