Confidant
Confidant
If you'd like to talk to someone about something that made you feel uncomfortable, or if there's something you'd rather not discuss directly with the people involved, the GSAC, through the ACLO and NSAC, has confidants available. If you don't feel like having a full conversation, you can reach out to Centrum Veilige Sport Nederland. With them, you can chat or call.
GSAC
GSAC has two confidential contact persons: Noa and Hielke. Below, you will find a brief introduction to both, along with their individual contact details. If you are unsure whom to approach regarding your specific situation, you can send an email to vcp@gsac.nl. This mailbox is managed by both Noa and Hielke; you will receive a response from the person best suited to address your matter at that time.
Hielke
Hi, my name is Hielke Hoekstra, and alongside Noa, I am one of the confidential contacts at GSAC. Many of you will probably have seen or spoken to me before, as I have been a member of GSAC for six years and have served on several committees. Outside of all the fun and social activities at GSAC, I work at the Martini Hospital.
If something is on your mind, please feel free to reach out, even if you’re not entirely sure whether it is “serious” enough.
Email: hielke-vcp@gsac.nl
Phone number: +31 6 43695549
Noa
Hello! My name is Noa Giljam and I am a confidential contact person of GSAC. This is my second year with GSAC, but I have already been climbing for 6 years on and off. Next to this, I study psychology at the RUG.
If you’ve seen or experienced anything unpleasant, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m there for you if you want to talk about it and/or if you want to look together at what’s best to do next, no matter how big or small the situation is.
Email: noa-vcp@gsac.nl
Telefoonnummer: +31 6 44377247
ACLO
The confidential contact persons for the ACLO are Myrthe Houtsma (a former member of the ACLO executive board) and Arne Römgens (also a former member of the executive board). You can arrange a meeting or a telephone conversation with one of them by sending an email to vcp@aclosport.nl. In your email, please indicate whether you have a preference for meeting with either Myrthe or Arne.
Arne can also be reached via WhatsApp at +31661224005

NSAC
The confidants for the NSAC are Diede and Parel, here are their introductions.
Hi! In the coming period, I, Diede, will be your confidant for all NSAC activities. I've been involved in the SAC world for a few years now, and in 2018-19, I served as the ZP Commissioner. I practice climbing in the broadest sense, as long as it's not in winter!
If you experience something unpleasant or see something that's not right, I'm here for you to listen and help find a suitable solution together. This way, we ensure that no one is left feeling uncomfortable and that everyone feels welcome and safe at the NSAC.
You can reach Diede at diede-vcp@nsac.alpenclub.nl.

Hi! I’m Parel, and together with Diede, I am one of the confidential contact persons of the NSAC. Since 2020, I have been active at the GSAC, where I was also part of the board for a year.
You can reach out to me if you have experienced (or witnessed) something unpleasant and want to discuss how to handle it best. Even if you just want to share your story without necessarily looking for a solution, you are always welcome to send an email. I hope that in this way, we can make the NSAC a sports environment where everyone feels welcome.
