Project to extend and completely renovate the day and accommodation centres of CREB Woluwe (Children's Rehabilitation Centre in Brussels)
After the opening of the CREB Anderlecht, there will be 45 children in Woluwe in the day centre (we will gradually increase to 55 children) and 27 in the residential centre at the opening. This is the second CREB project.
The CREB Woluwe welcomes children and young teenagers with severe mental and associated disabilities.
To-day's buildings have become unfit(asbestos) and too small to meet updated norms.We need to rebuild completely or have to close. Specifically ,the ground floor needs rebuilding. A first-floor needs be added. The living surfaces will need to be increased by +/- 1 000 m² and will allow the upgrading of the rooms, the sanitary equipment … The works will be phased in time since it is impossible to close.
This will be the most ambitious project Constellations has ever managed. The cost of 5,000,000 at the end of 2021 is now €6,500,000. In fact, increase construction costs are hitting the Creb in a similar way to other projects More than 120 people work in the centre.in this centre. Their jobs are also at stake.
In fact, we had already found the €5,000,000 estimated cost including the equipment. Our own contribution is €650,000 and we had found a further €1,450,000 from several foundations. Constellations 's contribution of €650,000 played a major role in getting these foundations to support us . These foundations are the Lokumo Foundation, the Brussels Rotary Clubs of Brussels, the M.M Delacroix Foundation, Cap48, the ROGER DE SPOELBERCH Foundation, the NIF Foundation, the Michelham Foundation and the 6088 Fund.
The Cocof will cover a large part of the cost of inflation, but we have had to take other measures in order to finance the reconstruction. We always go to the end of our projects, and this will be also the case for the CREB. This will require further support in 2023 /2024.We currently face a shortfall of €200,000.
We have decided that the 2024 theatre evening will be dedicated to supporting our 3 projects, as the
projects, as the increase in construction costs makes this additional support unavoidable.
We just obtained planning permission after 18 months of fierce battles.It's a great achievement
