Grand Hospice: meeting place with 140 projects
The Grand Hospice, located at number 7 on the street of the same name, now houses more than 140 initiatives driven by a group of citizens with a common goal: working for a better world.
The non-profit organisation 'Pali Pali' - which describes itself as an 'incubator of ideas' - manages this space on a daily basis with the support of the Public Welfare Centre (CPAS-OCMW) and develops projects around 4 themes: the community, sustainable development, art & culture and education & health.
Projects for a better world
The Grand Hospice aims not only to be an incubator for projects and ideas, but also a real living space thanks to its garden and food and drink area, hairdresser (Vilain), beauty salon (Zamany), pastry shop (Toga), sewing workshop (Couture Club) and record shop (Hospice Records).

The CPAS of the City of Brussels has extended the temporary occupation of the Grand Hospice site by Pali Pali until December 2025.
Public peace
Unfortunately, this success also has its downside, as it can cause nuisance for local residents. The City of Brussels, via its Public Peace Service, has therefore asked the 'Pali Pali' structure to set up preventive actions for consultation and dialogue. One of the measures taken to calm the neighbourhood was the creation of a hotline to deal with any nuisance on 0494 17 34 54.
