Making considerate referrals together
A clear route to the right clothing support
For municipalities, support workers, neighbourhood teams, financial guardians and other professionals who want to refer someone to Kledingbank Maxima with care. You help the client take the first step; the location then considers their situation personally and without judgement.
Clear for you, reassuring for the client
A considerate referral starts with good information
A referral does not need to be complicated. It helps most when a person knows which location applies, what the local conditions are and which information may be useful during a visit.
How to refer someone
From the first question to the right location
This route provides guidance. Local arrangements may differ; the location always considers the situation personally.
-
Identify the right area
Check which Kledingbank Maxima location serves the client's town or municipality. Its location page lists the service area, address and current practical information.
-
Discuss the conditions
The client can use the Maxima check for an initial indication. Explain that this is not a final decision: the location always considers the person's individual circumstances.
-
Prepare for the visit calmly
Valid identification and, where relevant, income information, additional evidence or a referral letter can support the intake. Not everyone needs everything.
-
Make a considerate referral
Share the link to the correct location page. This tells the client where they are welcome and what the next logical step is.
Practical preparation
When might a referral be appropriate?
Kledingbank Maxima supports people on a minimum income in Groningen and the surrounding area. Contacting the local location is also possible when there are exceptional circumstances.
What might someone bring?
- Valid identification

Not every visitor needs all of these documents. Always check the local information or contact the location if in doubt.
