Ask for help

With Leuven Helps, people who need extra help on hot days can get support from volunteers. Anyone can ask for help, for themselves or for someone else.

You are always welcome in a neighbourhood centre or local service centre. You can get free cold water and have a chat.

Drink enough water

You can get free cold water at many places in Leuven.
Some places are always open. At others, you can only get water during opening hours.
