FACERE

What FACERE does

FACERE ASBL is a Belgian non-profit organization (Association Sans But Lucratif) founded in 1993 by Robert Muylle and his wife Françoise, headquartered at Rue Meylemeersch 72 in the Anderlecht district of Brussels. It operates as a COCOF-accredited specialized care facility serving 37 adults aged 18 to 77 with cerebral motor impairment (IMC — Infirmité Motrice Cérébrale), a condition caused by irreversible brain lesions and frequently accompanied by cognitive, language, and swallowing disorders leading to high dependency. The organization runs two integrated services within a single institution: a Centre de Jour (day center) offering activity planning and personal development programming during daytime hours, and a Centre d'Hébergement (residential housing) providing evening and weekend accommodation and care for the same residents.

The care model is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of 17 staff across pedagogical, medical-social, administrative, and general services functions, under the direction of Florence van Pottelsberghe (General and Pedagogical Direction) and Nicolas Callebaut (Administrative and Financial Direction). There is no proprietary technology platform; FACERE operates as a direct, in-person service provider with a minimal digital footprint (a WordPress website and a single Facebook page). Revenue is generated from three streams: recurring COCOF government subsidies tied to its regulatory accreditation, direct donations via IBAN transfer and online forms, and passive affiliate revenue through the Trooper online shopping partnership. The organization complements paid staff with volunteer recruitment for laundry, kitchen, outings, garden maintenance, and event support, and conducts an annual Marché de Noël (Christmas market) as a community fundraising event.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Direct peers

• L'Arche International: International federation of communities providing residential and day support for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including high-dependency care. FACERE shares the non-profit residential care-for-disabled-adults model and similar mission-driven funding mix.

Broad incumbents

• Mencap: UK charity supporting people with learning disabilities through housing, day services, and advocacy. Comparable to FACERE in serving adults with developmental disabilities across residential and daytime services, but operates at significantly larger national scale.
• The Arc: US-based national organization advocating for and serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including residential and day programs. Comparable in mission to FACERE's care-for-disabled-adults model, though operating at federation scale across the US.
• Association ADAPEI: Network of French departmental associations operating residential facilities, day centers, and support services for people with intellectual disabilities. Directly comparable to FACERE in service scope and target population, though at a much larger regional scale.
• UNAPEI: French federation of associations supporting people with intellectual disabilities and their families, including residential and day care providers. Highly comparable to FACERE in terms of disability-care service mix and francophone regulatory context, though operating as a federation rather than a single facility.
