The People Behind the Foundation

Every charity event we organise, every fundraiser we launch, every family we support — none of it would happen without the extraordinary people who volunteer their time, energy, and passion to make it possible. Our volunteers come from all walks of life. They are parents, students, professionals, retirees, and young people just starting out. What unites them is a shared belief: that together, we can do more.

Here, we share a few of their stories — because their dedication deserves to be recognised and celebrated.

Anna, Event Coordinator

Przygodzice Branch

"I started volunteering with the Foundation after seeing one of their fundraiser posts online. I thought I would just help out at one event — but that was three years ago. Now I help coordinate events for our branch. Every time I see the impact we make, I know exactly why I keep coming back."

Marek, Sports Challenge Participant

Tychy Branch

"I took part in the ice water relay for Lilanka. People thought we were crazy — and maybe we were. But when you know there is a child who needs help, the cold stops mattering. I have never been prouder of anything in my life than I was at the end of those 24 hours."

Katarzyna, Social Media Volunteer

Łowicz Branch

"I am not able to attend events in person as often as I would like, so I help by managing our social media and sharing our stories online. Seeing donations come in after a post goes out — knowing that something I wrote helped connect a donor with a family in need — that is the most rewarding feeling."

How to Get Involved

We are always looking for new volunteers to join our team. Whether you can give a few hours a month or want to take on a bigger role, there is a place for you in our Foundation. Here is how you can get involved:

  • Event volunteers — help set up, run, and pack down at our charity events
  • Fundraising support — help us spread the word about our current fundraisers
  • Skills-based volunteering — if you have skills in photography, design, social media, or logistics, we would love your help
  • Sports challenges — join one of our charity challenges and push yourself for a great cause
