A dignified old age starts with small gestures - join us!

Ageing should be a time full of peace, warm memories and care. Unfortunately, for many Polish Senior Citizens, everyday life looks completely different. More than 100,000 people live in nursing homes and long-term care facilities, which often do not provide adequate conditions for a dignified life. Many of these places are neglected and resemble cold hospitals rather than cosy homes where older people could feel safe and comfortable.

We can change this - together with you!

Why help?

Nursing homes in Poland have suffered from underfunding for years. There is a lack of basic equipment to make daily life easier for seniors. It is also not uncommon for there to be a lack of funds for renovations, so these places are not conducive to creating a sense of security and warmth. Seniors living in such facilities often feel lonely and excluded. Isolation from the outside world robs them of the joy of living, yet each of them has their own needs, dreams and right to happiness.

Our "Father Christmas for Seniors" Foundation was established to show that every Senior deserves attention, care and the feeling that their voice is heard. Our mission is not only to make their Christmas dreams come true, but also to improve their quality of life all year round.

How do we work?

Since 2018, we have been changing the lives of Polish Seniors for the better. We started our adventure with the annual "Letters to Santa" campaign, in which the charges of care homes share their needs and dreams. Thanks to the support of big-hearted people, last year as many as 15,756 Seniors from 213 facilities across Poland received unique gifts - from warm blankets and comfortable slippers to more personal desires.

However, we quickly realised that the needs of Seniors do not end at Christmas. The marginalisation of the elderly is a serious problem in Poland, which is why we work throughout the year to provide them not only with temporary joy, but also with lasting help and support. Thanks to the commitment of our donors, a small initiative has grown into a Foundation whose activities include:

- Material support - we support care homes with renovations and retrofitting to make them more welcoming and comfortable for their residents.

- Emotional support - our social campaigns remind Seniors that they are important and deserve attention, care and respect.

- Fighting loneliness - we organise initiatives that connect Seniors with people who want to show them support and build relationships.

Thanks to our joint efforts, we can proudly say that our assistance continues not only on holidays, but every day. We believe that together we can make the autumn of life of Polish Seniors full of warmth, care and dignity.

Why is your help so important?

Your support means not only material help, but also a real change in the lives of Seniors who often feel forgotten. Every penny, every small gesture, every sharing makes a huge difference, because together we can show that they are not alone.

What will the funds raised be used for?

- Gifts and support for Seniors - small gifts that will bring them joy and a smile.

- To equip care homes with essential, and often missing, items such as towels, bedding and hygiene products.

- Refurbishing and modernising - to make care homes a more welcoming place to live.

- The Foundation's activities that make all of this possible - organising and coordinating projects, accounting and legal support, server maintenance and the salaries of the people who work with great dedication every day to fulfil our missions.

It is these activities that allow us to operate efficiently and effectively, reaching out to Seniors in need throughout Poland. Every donation is a step towards real change - both material and organisational.

Our aim is not only to provide material support, but above all to restore Seniors' faith in people. We want them to feel noticed, important and cared for.

The media are talking about us - joint support that inspires!

Our Foundation has gained a lot of recognition and interest in the media, which regularly report on our activities. We are proud to share our initiatives with a wider audience. Thanks to reports, articles and interviews in the media, more and more people are learning about the needs of Seniors in Poland and joining us to help!

Why is the media important?

By publicising our activities, we have the chance to reach people who want to change the world for the better - step by step. Media coverage showcases our projects, the stories of Seniors and the effects of the support we have achieved together with you.

Prominent people support our mission

We are delighted to see that our activities are also inspired by well-known people. Artists, actors, journalists and influencers promote our campaigns, share our collections and become personally involved in helping Seniors. Their support not only builds awareness, but also encourages their fans and followers to take action.

Together we can do more!

May old age be a time filled with warmth, peace and dignity. Your support - financially, emotionally or by sharing our collection - is a step towards a better life for Seniors in Poland.

Support us and help show that caring for others really does matter!
