APCLD

What APCLD does

APCLD (Association de Solidarité dans le domaine de la santé et du handicap) is a French non-profit association under the loi 1901 framework, headquartered in Arcueil and tracing its origins to 1933. The association delivers five core missions: accompaniment and visits (Accompagnements et visites), health prevention (Prévention santé), advice and administrative-procedure support (Conseils et aides aux démarches), temporary reception housing (Logements d'accueil), and donation-awareness promotion (Don de soi, including blood and organ donation in conjunction with the Établissement français du sang). It serves people with health conditions or disabilities, their informal caregivers, and the broader public interested in prevention content.

The operational model is community-led and volunteer-driven: APCLD coordinates approximately 400 bénévoles across metropolitan France and overseas territories (Outre-mer), backed by 8 regional coordinators and 6 delegates. The organization does not operate proprietary technology, apps, or APIs; its digital presence is limited to a WordPress-based website (apcld.fr), a quarterly print publication called Solidarité Magazine, social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter, and downloadable institutional brochures and health-prevention materials.

Financially, APCLD is funded through three non-commercial streams: individual membership fees (Adhésions), voluntary donations (Dons), and subscriptions to the Solidarité Magazine. With only 12 paid employees, the bulk of service delivery is performed by unpaid volunteers. Corporate and institutional supporters displayed on the site include La Poste, Orange, AFEH, ANR, Azureva, UNASS, and the Établissement français du sang. The leadership team disclosed in legal mentions consists of Jean-Paul CAMO (Directeur de la publication) and Arthur GUEDON (Responsable de la rédaction du site). The association is not venture-backed, not publicly traded, and discloses no financial figures.
