Who are we ?

Started in 1945, the Secours populaire français (SPF) is a non profit association which has been declared Main National Cause and is entitled to receive gifts and bequests. We gather people from all conditions and origins, who are deemed to make solidarity something real.

In France, the Secours populaire is mostly dedicated to exclusion problems related to children and poor families. Short term actions consist on providing food and clothing. Long term, we look to enable professional integration, access to culture, sports, hobbies, health, holidays, defence of human rights, while preserving everybody’s dignity in mutual collaboration.

In the rest of the world, the SPF works with local partners on development and education projects. There also, the Secours populaire reacts to urgency during armed conflicts and natural catastrophes.

The Secours populaire français is a partner to several association networks, and is represented in many government instances, in France as well as in Europe or all over the World.
