What Ass Collectif Handicaps 35 does

Collectif Handicaps 35 is a non-profit association (association loi 1901) headquartered at 31 Boulevard du Portugal in Rennes, France, operating as an umbrella collective of disability associations across the Ille-et-Vilaine department in Brittany. It represents all categories of disability — physical, sensory, intellectual, and mental health — and provides a unified advocacy voice on behalf of people with disabilities and their families. Its core offerings are structured around seven working groups covering Rights & Autonomy, Accessibility, Employment & Socio-Professional Integration, Childhood & Education, Healthcare Access, Home Care Services, and Peer Support, supplemented by disability awareness training delivered by volunteers with personal or familial experience of disability.

The organization does not sell commercial products or operate proprietary technology. Its business model is donation- and grant-based: it accepts individual donations through the HelloAsso platform, collects membership fees from member associations (including Adapei 35, APF, AFM, AVH, ADIMC 35, and others), and receives institutional support from public bodies including Ville de Rennes, Rennes Métropole, Région Bretagne, Département d'Ille-et-Vilaine, ARS Bretagne, and MDPH 35. Distribution and outreach occur through its member association network, website (collectifhandicaps35.org), Mailchimp newsletter, events and conferences (including an October 2025 Colloque on 20 years of the 2005 disability law), and participation in events such as the Grand Prix Star Initiatives solidaires. The founding date is not disclosed in available sources, and no financial figures, headcount, or funding rounds are reported.
