It is with great disappointment that we learned from Breda City Council that, due to a recent change in the subsidy scheme, we cannot claim a multi-year subsidy (2025-2028) in our own city. The crux lies in a new requirement imposed by the municipality in December 2023: applicants must be statutory based in the province of North Brabant by 1 January 2023, with retroactive effect. Although The100Hands has been based and working from Breda since 2017, we were founded 10 years ago in Amsterdam.
