7th house : CREB Anderlecht


Constellations in collaboration with CREB association / Fundraising 2017-2018

The CREB (Children's Rehabilitation Centre in Brussels) opened on September 1 a second  day centre for children with multiple disabilities in Anderlecht, after the one in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert (see below). The new centre will offer a place to thirty children.

Anderlecht's creation is necessary for different reasons. Firstly, the average waiting time before obtaining a place in a centre for children with multiple disabilities is very long (5 years).

 

Secondly, the centre is aimed at a very special audience: most of these children have special protective frames  for their backs, and many of them have a urinary catheter. Still, they often have to travel a long time to reach a day centre because there are no centres nearby.

By building a centre at the other side of Brussels, the CREB Asbl allows children with multiple disabilities to avoid these long journeys and to significantly improve their quality of life while reducing waiting lists. This will also bring relieve to their families.

 

Our first priority was to find a place where to build. We found a well-suited location in Anderlecht with the help of Citydev and we signed the leasehold  for 25,000 euros per year, which is extremely low. This location will significantly reduce  travel time for the children and their parents.


After obtaining the necessary permits, we obtained the final green light from the College of Ministers of the Brussels Region by the end of December 2019.

 

The opening took place September 1 and the inauguration took place on  October 5.Everybody was admirative of the new building architecture as well as the quality of the installations .

 

 

This is great news for Constellations, which has worked hard on this project and is now seeing

its 7th house come to fruition

 

The total cost (construction and equipment) is estimated at 3,680,000 euros. It has been financed in part by the Brussels Region, for an exceptionally high amount of 2,344,000 euros.

 Together with Cap 48 https://www.cap48.be/ and the Rotary, we have taken the initiative to organise a broad solidarity movement around this project. It now brings together the Lokumo Fund (managed by the King Baudouin Foundation https://www.kbs-frb.be/en/),the Mr. M. Delacroix Support Fund https://www.fondsmmdelacroix.org/ , Cap 48 and several Rotary clubs located in Brussels https://www.rotary.org/fr . We are also grateful for the substantial help we received from the National Lottery https://www.e-lotto.be/FR/home. The funds raised are enabling us to carry out this beautiful project with the help of the Brussels Region (COCOF) https://phare.irisnet.be/ .
