Beursschouwburg transformed into humanitarian hub

Since Beursschouwburg’s programme has been disrupted the venue in the centre of Brussels has been transformed into a humanitarian hub in collaboration with HOBO, Globe Aroma, Let Petits Riens, Solidarité Grands Froids, Cultureghem and Brussels Boxing Academy.

As of 24 April, people without a home or shelter have been able to meet at this Covid reception point on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 9 am to 4 pm.

Here visitors can avail of:

  • warm and cold drinks, snacks and fruit
  • warm take-away meals from 12:30 onwards
  • toilet facilities
  • phone / device charging
  • the use of tablet computers
  • lockers
  • clothing and shoes
  • face masks and hygene kits
  • a shower voucher for use at the VGC Comenius sports centre in Koekelberg
  • information and contacts

All this is offered with the greatest concern for the health and safety of the visitors as well as the hub’s staff and volunteers.
