With the registered office in Beringen-Koersel, they wanted to establish a dynamic non-profit organization with the objective to provide active holidays for Young adults with a mental and / or physical disability and this, importantly, at an affordable price. Recently, Carrousel is also active in a second part, Sports. So, you can divide VZW Carrousel into two parts, Carrousel@vacations and Carrousel@sports. Carrousel@vacations: Four times a year, the association organize an integrated holiday. Every time there's a group of volunteers (Young and old) who are going on a vacation with about 30 people with a disability. The persons with a disability are from the five flamisch provinces of our country, from Bredene, Aalst, Scherpenheuvel, Diest, Bree, Hasselt, St.Truiden to Westerlo and Beerse Etc They are living at home or stay in daily life in a residential care. The coaches come from everywhere in our country, of Heuvelland, Beringen, Hoeselt, Tielt to Geel, Kasterlee etc. Important to know is that the whole operation runs on the voluntary efforts of this group of coaches, all people with a heart for people with a disability. They are watched over night and day., The coaches also organize three different activities each day and this throughout the whole holiday. These activities can be swimming, walking, sports, dancing, treasure hunts, visit cinema, theater, visits to amusement parks, crafts or quizzes. Every guest can participate according to his own possibilities. Carrousel@sport: Within this section, the aim is to get people with disabilities into sports. The integration of disabled people into society is of utmost importance. Carrousel is not blind to the limitations of these people but they will motivate the society to pay more attention to their capabilities. So they organize eg every year in this part an integration cup. In this cup can participate 25 teams consisting of business people, students and people with disabilities. They must work together to bring a number of sports trials to a successful conclusion. VZW Carrousel has no political affiliation and is not bound by any religious belief. The NPO is also not involved in other organizations. Since the group does not receive any subsidy or allowance, it is clear that the non-profit organization for all costs depends entirely on its own initiatives and / or sponsorship.
