The city provides food and drink. For the rest, the initiative relies on dozens of volunteers. Roel Vansevenant, OC De Schelpe: “A Christmas party is being organized in every neighborhood in Ostend today. We will provide a total of 920 people with a fun afternoon. The aim is to bring people into contact with each other so that no Ostend resident feels lonely and can work on connection.

Not being alone on a day like today, that’s what it’s all about. And it is also the ideal opportunity to get to know the neighborhood work better.
