About our management
Who steers what at Flanders Circular?
Neighbourhood centre Posthof in Berchem offers a warm home for everyone, with a special focus on people from vulnerable groups. Sustainability is there in every detail. And thanks to these sustainable initiatives, underprivileged people get the chance to step into work.
Gaining work experience
Buurtcentrum Posthof is there for everyone in the diverse Berchem neighbourhood, with extra attention for those who have fewer opportunities in our society. They can go to the reception desk with social questions, and to the GeriefBieb for handyman materials. And those who need help with their smartphone knock on the door of the Web.Punt. Posthof also has a cleaning service, childcare, a bicycle workshop and a social workshop. People who struggle to find work can gain work experience there.
Sustainability as a common thread
One thing sets Posthof apart from other community centres: sustainability is a common thread running through their operations. Local residents tend vegetable gardens at various locations in Berchem. Many projects focus on reuse. You can have things repaired at the repair café and the neighbourhood restaurant serves soup with surplus vegetables from local shops every week. And at Naai.Punt you can learn how to give clothes or textiles a second life. Thus, Posthof proves that social work and sustainability can go hand in hand.
