THE WESCO CORPORATE FOUNDATION

Created in 2004 and recognized as a public utility, the Dons Solidaires association's mission is to fight against waste and precariousness by collecting unsold goods from companies, which it then distributes throughout the territory to benefit those who need them most.
Since 2015, the Wesco Corporate Foundation has been supporting the association's youth section, in particular through the "Kit Scolaire" operation: a solidarity operation to provide families in difficulty with what they need for the start of the new school year, new quality supplies distributed via partner associations throughout France.

The Bocage Sports Discovery School (79) has set itself the mission of awakening and introducing all children to sport, of making them discover different activities and of promoting sporting values such as team spirit.
Since 2016, we have been supporting the projects developed by EDS around the inclusion of children with disabilities through sport, through the "Ex Aequo" programme. Adapted, non-competitive sporting activities enable everyone to significantly increase their self-confidence and change the way they look at disability. We're all equal at the starting line!

This performing arts company, based in Normandy, has made it its mission to make culture accessible to as many people as possible. Thanks to their mobile and immersive stage, the Créa'Bus, they can reach audiences who are far removed from culture, bringing art to places where it is not necessarily expected!
After more than 13 years of performances, the Créa'Bus needs to be replaced. The foundation is supporting this renewal project to allow this immersive mobile performance venue to continue its mission with young audiences and families, particularly in rural areas and priority neighborhoods, so that thousands of children can continue to discover live performance close to home.
