Solution

Le Carillon involves various local players: 
  • The shopkeepers offer micro-services and everyday products (phone recharging, luggage drop-off, meals, drinks, haircuts, etc.).s offer micro-services and everyday products (recharging your phone, leaving your luggage, meals, drinks, haircuts, ...) and offer a warm welcome to homeless people;
  • Homeless people use the services and products at the shopkeepers' and can get involved as volunteers in the network to animate and develop it (recruiting new shopkeepers, monitoring shopkeepers, organizing events, ...);
  • Inhabitants.e.s create links by offering/pre-paying for products on standby at merchants for homeless people, and can get involved as volunteers in the network to animate and develop it ;
  • Partner associations send homeless people the list of supportive merchants.
  • Companies support the network and mobilize their employees.

In order to inform residents.s (with and without domicile):
  • the shopkeeper commits by displaying a "Le Carillon" label on his door and pictograms corresponding to the services and products on offer;
  • La Cloche prints lists of the location and offer proposed by each shopkeeper which are distributed by 1) volunteers, with and without domicile, on the street, 2) by associative and social partners and 3) by the asso itself during weekly social link permanences (entitled "Repères").

In order to keep the network alive and develop links between all these players, La Cloche volunteers with and without homes organize neighborhood events (Apérue at a shopkeeper's, karaoke, choir, game of pétanque, unpopular soup...).

Dear difteurs,

Here are a few details about Carillon's network of shops and solidarity venues.
It's nearly 45,000 services renderedand 35,000 products consumed every year (2023 figures) by people who are homeless or in situations of great precariousness. It's also more than 2700 social link actions organized throughout France on the principle of inclusive volunteering, with the support of volunteers with or without homes.

Thanks to your contribution and your difts, you can make a difference!
Our goal is to increase the number of businesses and locations within our Carillon network, offer more products and services, and create even more inclusive moments. We want to make even greater progress in the fight against the exclusion of people who are homeless or in situations of great precariousness!

A big thank you to you for your invaluable support and your difts!
