Combating social health inequalities : the work of the foundation
CNP Assurances is reinventing its solutions to protect as many policyholders as possible. The CNP Assurances Foundation extends our reach to disadvantaged areas where social inequalities also take a toll on health. Like the Group itself, the CNP Assurances Foundation focuses on risk prevention through education and embraces joint decision-making in projects with all stakeholders.
United Way L’Alliance
takes a preventative approach to school dropouts by supporting junior-high students in priority education areas throughout their schooling. A pioneer in collective corporate sponsorship in France, it builds its programmes jointly with all the schools, families, local authorities, non-profit organisations and businesses influencing young people’s success. The CNP Assurances Foundation was one of the first to join the group of corporate sponsors and support the United Way L’Alliance’s flagship “Youth Challenge” programme. It supports young people from the age of 11 until they leave school, and helps them to gain expertise and life skills through initiatives promoting well-being, such as developing their public speaking and interpersonal skills. This is an area in which CNP Assurances opted to work with a partner and provide support, so that good health can lead to success at school and in life.
“CNP Assurances’ expertise in risk prevention was a decisive factor in building the well-being component of our Youth Challenge programme. Today it works with 7,000 young people and aims to increase this to 15,000 by 2021.”
Laurence Piccini, Chief Executive Officer of the United Way L’Alliance
Bibliothèques Sans Frontières
facilitates access to information and education, which everyone needs to reach their full potential, with its new Ideas Box, the library for the 21st century. This kit-based mobile media library reaches out to local communities and can be set up in less than twenty minutes to create a 100 m2 space equipped with tablets, PCs, books and a cinema screen. Then the discoveries can begin.
The CNP Assurances Foundation teamed up with Bibliothèques Sans Frontières to jointly create a special health-themed Ideas Box. Building on an initial successful experience in Boulogne-sur-Mer (Hauts-de-France region), the partners launched a second call for projects for local authorities, and Sarcelles (Île-de-France region) was awarded the second health Ideas Box. It encompasses health-related content prepared by the city’s education unit covering sexual and emotional relationships, access to healthcare and drug use prevention initiatives.
