The renovation of the Les Gazelles sports site in Brussels is well underway, aiming to reopen this autumn. This community-focused project is set to revive workshops and create a vibrant sports hub for local residents and neighbours. As of 2025-06-06 08:36:00, the site remains under construction but promises exciting developments ahead.
- Nieuwe site opent dit najaar opnieuw
- Les Gazelles wil bruisende sportplek ontwikkelen
- Steun ontvangen van Brussel Helpt sinds 2017
- Sportswitch lanceerde inzamelactie voor sportspullen
- Donaties blijven mogelijk ondanks winkel sluiting
Les Gazelles de Bruxelles has steadily grown since receiving support from the Brussels Helpt solidarity campaign in 2017. The organisation continues to foster community spirit through sport, even as the physical site undergoes transformation.
Meanwhile, local initiatives like Sportswitch, in partnership with Nasci vzw and Brussels babytheken, recently launched the ‘Maak ruimte vrij in mei’ campaign. This drive encouraged donations of unused sports and children’s items, supporting the community despite the temporary closure of the donation shop.
How will the renovated Les Gazelles site impact Brussels neighbourhoods? By focusing on collaboration with local residents, the project aims to:
- Create a welcoming sports space that encourages active lifestyles
- Strengthen community ties through workshops and events
- Maintain momentum through partnerships and donation drives
Can such initiatives inspire similar community-driven projects across Belgium? The success of Les Gazelles suggests a positive model for integrating sport and social cohesion.
As the reopening approaches, locals are encouraged to stay involved through donations and participation. Will you join the movement to make Brussels’ neighbourhoods more active and connected?
