“Based on the idea of proportional universalism, we differentiate the bridge figure’s offer in scale and intensity according to the needs of families. This assistance helps to remove the barriers that families experience. This reduces health and well-being inequalities that result from social inequalities. This requires actions and cooperation across various domains. The aim is to improve the well-being of parents and children at school and at home, with specific attention to vulnerable families.”

- Waregem (with a focus on the Torenhof district): non-profit organization Meeting Centers Waregem in collaboration with non-profit organization De Brug, diversity department of the Waregem Welfare House, the youth service, Waregem police zone
“The Torenhof district is a large social district. The neighborhood is very diverse, multicultural, there is a lot of poverty, there are many problems and there is little social cohesion. These young people often hang around on the street, some no longer go to school and do not work. They want to strengthen the existing operations in the meeting center, with a view to meeting and its role as a meeting place. They want to expand that role, involve the partners more, but also involve the neighborhood more and focus more on the existing, regular offering. In addition, we want to set up a leisure activity for the children and young people who they cannot reach at the moment.”
