1. Skill sponsorship, a win-win combination
During the holiday season, why not offer your employees the opportunity to carry out a skills sponsorship mission for one day?
Skills sponsorship is a gift in kind: for a company, it is a question of making employees available to an organization of general interest, who will mobilize their skills or their workforce for a time. This type of mission is called “manpower lending”. Concretely, you can give your employees the opportunity to carry out missions during their working time.
Mission of environmental protection, social action... Everything is possible! To find out more about the implementation, it's happening here.
2. Giving gifts is good, eco-responsible is better
Who says Christmas says gifts, and maybe you give them to your colleagues? Or do you plan to do some to your employees?
Although it is synonymous with joy, cohesion and happiness, the holiday season is also a time of overconsumption. So, how can you please your loved ones without having a major impact on our planet? With eco-responsible gifts!

3. A greeting card writing session, to warm hearts
Unfortunately, the holiday season is not a time of joy for everyone. People living in precarious situations are all the more isolated during this period. It is therefore important to show our support and our affection to people who are isolated and in a precarious situation as the holidays approach.
To do this, you can organize a greeting card writing workshop within your company.
The association Entourage Start the operation Fat'Coeur : a network of solidarity and mutual aid around people in a situation of great exclusion! Concretely, you can write a greeting card, and the Entourage association will then take care of transmitting it to an isolated person, who will be delighted to receive a nice note, full of affection and support.
4. A collection of basic necessities, but not only...
At Christmas, you can, like the rest of the year, collect basic necessities within your company, in order to then donate to an association. The products harvested by them are mostly:
- Some clothes
- hygiene products
- Some food
However, during the holiday season, you can also organize a gift drive. Many associations are mobilized to collect new or used toys: Emmaus, Les Petits Frères des Pauvres, Secours Popeuse, Secours Catholique, or even Solidarity donations which makes direct use of businesses. Something to add a bit of holiday magic to the lives of people in precarious situations!
5. Collective mobilization for the association of your choice
What if you gave your Christmas present to a good cause this year?
