A year ago, we asked our network to support our cycling sponsorship tour BB FOR. 35 people followed our lead. Together, we raised €35,400 for the non-profit organisation Het Werk der Daklozen.

Het Werk der Daklozen manages a building on Blindestraat in Antwerp that provides shelter to recognised single male refugees. In 2023, we carried out a (free) audit in that building in preparation for a thorough renovation. Based on the audit, the building was prepared to provide 33 men with a warm and comfortable home.

Today, we are happy to share with you that the renovation of the studios in wing A is progressing well and that the first 20 residents will move in on 15 June.

Three cheers for our loyal BB FOR friends (sponsors, cyclists and volunteers) for your loyalty to our cycle tour. This success is also yours.

We are already looking forward to the 2026 edition and the dreams we can help realise together in the future.
