LE REFUGE BRUXELLES

Le Refuge Bruxelles is a Brussels-based shelter providing emergency accommodation and support for LGBTQI+ people aged 18 to 25 who are in a situation of exclusion on account of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

Emergency accommodation at Le Refuge lasts for a maximum of three months, during which time we offer multidimensional support including administrative, legal and social support; access to physical and mental health care; organisation of socio-cultural activities; help in finding accommodation; and help in finding a job, training or further education.

YOU ARE SEEKING FOR HELP

Whether you are in a situation of emergency, need help or have a question, we are at your disposal.

YOU ARE SEEKING TO HELP

The needs of the young people we accommodate and support are manifold. Help us to keep our shelter alive.

Become a volunteer

Le Refuge Bruxelles gathers motivated volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. What do they have in common? The desire to fight against discrimination and exclusion of young LGBTQI+ people.

On the agenda: Organisation of socio-cultural activities, management of Le Refuge’s internal shop, organisation of public events, participation in awareness-raising activities, and much more.
