On the evening of Tuesday 26 April 2022, a Spring Reception for the British Community was held at the British Residence in Brussels hosted by the UK ambassador Martin Shearman and organised by the BBCA.

This was the first event when the community could really get together since the pandemic struck and the evening was a  great success. We achieved our goal of bringing the British Community together again and raising money for a very good cause!

During the evening a cash raffle was held with some great prizes, including Pommery Champagne, Belgian Sparkling Wine and a hamper from Stonemanor, with all proceeds to be donated to the Red Cross Ukraine Appeal. In total €1,140 was raised in support of displaced Ukrainian people on the night.

More pictures from the event can be viewed here.

We hope to be organising more community events during 2022. In particular two dates for your diary:

Tuesday 24 May - BBCA 2022 Annual General Meeting at The Brussels Womens Club in Woluwe St Pierre (BBCA members only))

Saturday 25 June - BBCA 2022 Summer Fete at the Royal Brussels Cricket Club in Lasne (Open to all)
