Het Begin

Het Begin is for the elderly and individuals with care needs who want to continue living independently. In addition to weekly activities, Het Begin offers practical help such as administrative support, meals or transport services. As such, the centre is an essential partner for local residents who could use a little extra help

Our strengths

Over time, the visitors to our social restaurant form a kind of small family.

The entire services centre is wheelchair accessible, so we make sure there are no barriers!

Walking along the canal in Vilvoorde

"Trips out, for example to the Botanical Garden in Meise, a day of art in Namur or taking the boat to Vilvoorde, I really enjoy it!"
