Solution
An emblematic program, the Carillon is a local solidarity network between shopkeepers and residents that aims to improve the daily lives of homeless people and combat their isolation.
The goal? Restore the desire (and possibility) to "walk through the door"!
In practice:
The shops and places offer micro-services and everyday products and offer a warm welcome;The homeless people use these services and products and can get involved as volunteers (recruiting new shopkeepers, organizing events...) and regain a social link;Homeless people create a link by pre-paying for products on standby at merchants' and can participate in our actions as volunteers or not;
What's their role?
Identify needs, canvass businesses and raise awareness.Publicize the program (communication, window stickers, street meetings...) and identify partner associations to inform residents (with or without homes).Unite all these players by bringing the network to life through the organization of neighborhood events and the holding of their weekly landmarks (permanences de lien social)..

- The animation of our community of with and homeless volunteers (85 in 2023 for Paris-Ile de France) through highlights and convivial moments co-organized on the principle of inclusive volunteering (doing with the people concerned and not "doing for").

Why we love it?
We love this association, which does everything right and never stops innovating to create the world of our dreams and remind us to have faith in humanity. The Carillon network includes over 1,300 committed businesses: that's what we call having a systemic impact!
At Carillon, you're not judged. You're accepted as you are, that is, not just as a homeless person.
