Le Petit vélo jaune is a Brussels-based welfare partner that supports around 100 families annually through home-based volunteers, similar to our StapSteen mobile team. They have a very well-developed methodology and a well-developed operation with seven team members. Over the next three years, we will be collaborating with them in Brussels, receiving in-house coaching and financial support, allowing us to employ two part-time staff members in our mobile team.
We connect very well with their vision, values, and approach. Together, we will work hard to help families in Brussels.
As a volunteer organization, Home-Start Flanders offers accessible, preventative family and parenting support at home to families in vulnerable situations, from pregnancy to age 12.

We fully support Home-Start Flanders' advocacy efforts to promote preventive family support at home to policymakers.
