CENTRE SOCIAL DE LA BERTHAUDIERE

What CENTRE SOCIAL DE LA BERTHAUDIERE does

Centre Social de la Berthaudière (legally Association des centres sociaux Espace Berthaudière et Espace Prainet) is a non-profit association registered under French law of 1 July 1901, headquartered in Décines-Charpieu in the Lyon metropolitan area, France. The association operates as an officially certified 'Centre Social' under CAF du Rhône, delivering social-development services to all residents of the municipality across five quartiers (Berthaudière, Sablons, Marais, Cornavent, and Prainet). Its service portfolio spans early childhood (Crèche Nuage de plumes for ages 0-3), children (Accueil de loisirs 3-11 and after-school activities), youth (11-17 leisure and college support), adults and seniors (workshops, fitness, computer literacy), parental support, school accompaniment, and neighborhood life initiatives, plus two distinctive sub-brands: La Fabrik'à vélo (bike repair workshop with mobile outreach) and La P'tite Scène (resident-managed café-théâtre).

The association runs three physical sites — Espace Berthaudière (65 rue Georges Bizet), Espace Prainet (15 avenue Salvador Allende), and Crèche Nuage de plumes (16 rue Carnot) — supported by a staff of 22 employees and a documented volunteer base, with current Project Social cycles running 2025-2029 (Berthaudière) and 2024-2028 (Prainet). Technology is limited to the third-party AIGA Espace Famille portal used for registrations, scheduling, and billing; there is no proprietary technology platform.

Revenue is generated primarily through public subsidies from CAF du Rhône, Ville de Décines-Charpieu, Métropole Grand Lyon, État Préfecture du Rhône, CARSAT, and Département du Rhône, supplemented by income-based activity fees scaled to the CAF Family Quotient and an €8 annual family membership fee. Governance is exercised through a Board of Directors structured in three colleges (user members, associate members, members of right), currently led by President Armand Grigoryan, Treasurer Nadjet Omrani, Secretary Barbara Muller, and Bureau member Moulkier Thivichon-Prince.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• UNIOPSS: National umbrella for non-profit social, medico-social and healthcare organisations. Thematically related to Centre Social de la Berthaudière as the broader institutional representative of French social economy actors, though not a direct operating peer.
• Fédération des Centres Sociaux et Socioculturels de France: National federation representing Centres Sociaux across France and coordinating with CAF and national authorities. Acts as an ecosystem/enabling counterpart rather than a direct operator, but defines the institutional framework and label that Centre Social de la Berthaudière operates within.

Broad incumbents

• Babilou: Major French private childcare network operating crèches across France under EAJE authorisation. Overlaps with the Crèche Nuage de plumes offering but at commercial scale, without the broader community centre mission.
• Croix-Rouge française: Large French humanitarian organisation running childcare facilities, youth programs and community social services across the country. Comparable in delivering publicly-funded social services including crèche and youth activities, but as a much larger, broader organisation.
• People & Baby: Largest private daycare operator in France running hundreds of crèches under EAJE authorisation. Comparable for the nursery/daycare component but operates at much greater scale and as a commercial operator, not a community-led non-profit.

Direct peers

• La Maison Bleue: Network of multi-service early childhood facilities (crèches, multi-accueils) across France with a strong social-purpose orientation. Directly comparable to the Crèche Nuage de plumes component of Centre Social de la Berthaudière, especially given its focus on inclusive, mixed-income childcare.
• Léo Lagrange: French federation operating community centres, childcare facilities, youth programs and leisure activities nationwide. Highly comparable to Centre Social de la Berthaudière because it combines a similar mix of early childhood, youth, family and adult programming under a non-profit, public-funded model with local delivery.
• MJC de France: Federation of Maisons des Jeunes et de la Culture, a French community centre network offering youth activities, cultural programming and adult workshops. Directly comparable in mission (cultural and social community centre), user base and dependence on public funding, though typically with stronger cultural emphasis than the Berthaudière model.
• Les Francas: National federation for popular education operating accueils de loisirs, youth centres and school support programs for children aged 3–17. Comparable to the Enfance and Jeunesse programmes of Centre Social de la Berthaudière in both population served and educational philosophy.
• Familles Rurales: National federation of family associations delivering childcare, youth activities, parental support and community services in rural and peri-urban France. Directly comparable to the Berthaudière model in offering cradle-to-adult family services with public funding and volunteer governance.
