Comité Régional Handisport Hauts-de-France

What Comité Régional Handisport Hauts-de-France does

The Comité Régional Handisport Hauts-de-France is a French regional non-profit sports committee headquartered at the Maison Régionale des Sports in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, operating under the Fédération Française Handisport (FFH). It coordinates adapted sports activity across the Hauts-de-France region through five departmental committees (Aisne, Nord, Oise, Pas-de-Calais, Somme), serving athletes with physical, visual, and hearing impairments who practice at recreational or competitive levels.

Its service portfolio spans six core offerings: sports programs covering over 20 adapted disciplines (athletics, wheelchair basketball, boccia, cycling, swimming, fencing, goalball, futsal, table tennis, wheelchair rugby, and others); a free equipment lending service for affiliated clubs that distributes sports wheelchairs, tandems, tricycles, boccia sets, visual impairment masks, goalball equipment, and adapted vehicles; federally recognized formation and training (including the "Les Indispensables" e-learning platform and federal training catalog); organization and co-organization of regional and national competitions including JNAH, JRAH, and discipline championships; club affiliation, licensing, and insurance services routed through the FFH and Mutuelle des Sportifs; and awareness/outreach activities including the Handivalides inclusive-sport program. Distribution is hybrid: top-of-funnel awareness through the website, Facebook, Flickr, a newsletter, and events such as Salon Autonomic Lille; bottom-of-funnel through direct club affiliation and self-serve event registration.

The business model is a non-profit federation model rather than a commercial one. There is no publicly disclosed pricing; affiliation, licensing, and insurance fees flow through FFH, material loans are provided free of charge to affiliated clubs, and revenue (not disclosed) is composed of public subsidies (regional council, ANS, ministry), federation allocations, licensing fees, donations via HelloAsso, and partnership in-kind support. Technology stack is minimal — a content website, social channels, and a third-party accessibility service (ACCEO for deaf and hard-of-hearing users) — with no proprietary platform, API, or AI/ML capabilities.
