Who we are
Our story
Decibel A was founded in November 2025 in Antwerp as a Belgian nonprofit association (vereniging zonder winstoogmerk / association sans but lucratif). Our founding act was published in the Belgian Official Gazette (Belgisch Staatsblad / Moniteur belge) on 1 December 2025.
We are a young organisation. Rather than making big claims, we prefer to let our work speak for itself as our first projects take shape.
Our mission
[Insert here the purpose of the association exactly as written in your statutes, followed by a plain-language explanation of what that means in practice: who you serve, what you organise, and why it matters.]
Our values
- Accessibility. Our activities are open and welcoming to everyone.
- Community. We work with and for the people around us in Antwerp.
- Transparency. Our legal information and governance are public — see our transparency page.
- Nonprofit by design. As a vzw/ASBL, any surplus is reinvested in our purpose, never distributed as profit.
Governance
The association is managed by its board of directors, as registered with the Belgian Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE):
- Bart Verbiest — Director (since 27/11/2025)
- Casper Declercq — Director (since 27/11/2025)
