Never forgetting those less fortunate
The Bulldog has its paws firmly planted in our local community. Growing up in the Amsterdam Red Light District, Henk saw how crime, poverty and drug addiction affected the lives of many. To this day, he never forgot where he came from. Influenced by the Salvation Army’s legendary Major Bosshardt, Henk started The Bulldog Foundation to reach out to those in need with food and care. We participate in many different projects, in which our staff members often take an active part!
OUR PROJECTS
Pampering Days November 2026
Twice a year, a group of four to five colleagues from The Bulldog sets out to assist during a special event organized by The Salvation Army. Their clients enjoy a week-long holiday in a beautiful hotel nestled in the nature of Lunteren
One Last Wish
A final wish brought a 51-year-old man back to one of the places that held some of his happiest memories: The Bulldog at Leidseplein. Together with WensAmbulance Utrecht and the Salvation Army, we helped create an unforgetable day.
Cooking Night January 2026 with Henk
Every month, colleagues from The Bulldog Amsterdam volunteer to cook a three-course dinner for guests of the Salvation Army Amsterdam. This month, Johan, Marina and Henk served up an Italian evening filled with good food, conversation and connection.
