Our Impact

Within Dutch society (and elsewhere, too!), hetero and cis/binary gender are still too often seen as the norm. As we know from our lived experience, queer people are regularly excluded. This brings with it complex challenges such as violence, discrimination and the feeling of not belonging. Queertopia exists to help people grow towards their own ideals.

When you book our services, we sponsor:

• the setup of a Queertopia library, reading corner and book club events
• free memberships and personal training at the queer gym We Are Queer (WERQ) for queer people in need
• compensation for the health and fitness coaches at We Are Queer

Here’s a selection of resistance art projects by the Center: Over the last few years, they…

• Built a Holocaust memorial commemorating 6 million murdered European Jews right in front of AfD politician Björn Höcke’s house
• Chartered an airplane to bring 100 war refugees to Europe alive.
• Called for the overthrow of the dictatorship in the streets of Istanbul (in memory of the Scholl siblings)

When you book our services, we sponsor the Center’s

• campaign research
• printing costs for flyers against German right-wing party AfD and
• rent for the holocaust memorial in front of Björn Höcke’s house.

Wetlands store up to four times more CO2 than forests. They’re important clean water reservoirs and home to many endangered species.

But worldwide, they are destroyed for agriculture, forestry or other economic purposes.

Mission to Marsh protect the healthy wetlands and work with partners to restore what has already been destroyed.

We’re grateful to count Mission to Marsh among our clients. While the team were building their brand, we supported them with pro bono services.

When you book our services, we sponsor the regeneration of wetlands by “adopting” a clearly defined wetland area.

The Galgos del Sol Centre houses over 300+ dogs in multiple kennel blocks with indoor/outdoor access, running water bowls, and so much more. Volunteers even have a place to stay. GDS strives to provide the very best for the dogs while they are waiting to be adopted into forever homes.

Sabine and Holger live with 2 of these amazingly gentle creatures. Holger has spent time with GDS in Spain as an unpaid volunteer, walking dogs and cleaning kennels. And each month, From Scratch sponsors one greyhound at GDS, independently of sales revenue.

In addition, we sponsor GDS with food and vet bills for blood tests and spaying females when you book our services.
