15th house : Les Aubépines

Constellations in collaboration with Asbl Les Aubépines / Fundraising 2024-2025

This residential centre mainly houses 52 autistic people with severe disabilities or high dependency. Some of these people are getting older and need facilities adapted to their limited mobility. One of the buildings housing 24 of these people is in a building that needs complete reconstruction, as this building is in an advanced state of disrepair. Moreover, the building is totally unsuitable for the ageing needs of these 24 people, many of whom have a dual diagnosis.

This project will receive €700,000 support from the AVIQ, guaranteeing that operating costs will be covered, as is already the case. Constellations will support this project for €300,000.

We have already contacted the Lokumo and King Baudouin foundations and the Ceperive fund.

We have now chosen a location for the new house and have received approval in principle from both the local government and the AViQ.

We now need to finalise the plans so that we can apply for planning permission.This should be done by the end of October.

We are also looking for the necessary funds and have already collected some very substantial sums from residents' families. We have several meetings with foundations
