New employee volunteering program at Poczta Polska

Your involvement in the Noble Parcel campaign demonstrated the power of collective action by Polish Post employees. It was a great success.

We're now inviting you to join our employee volunteer program, in collaboration with the Little Brothers of the Poor Association. This volunteer program isn't just about one-time participation in a project, but also about regular contact with an elderly person experiencing loneliness.

The "Presence" program, implemented by the Little Brothers of the Poor Association, addresses one of the most serious social problems – loneliness among seniors. Loneliness directly impacts mental and physical health, and elderly people often lack the tools to cope with it on their own.

How the program works:

• volunteers regularly visit seniors in their homes,
• the relationship is based on conversation, trust and constant contact,
• The goal is to actually reduce the feeling of loneliness and activate seniors.

In addition to individual meetings, the program also includes:

• intergenerational meetings,
• holiday meetings (Easter, "Give the Gift of Christmas Eve"),
• joint outings and activities as part of the "One Day Vacation",
• small volunteer initiatives and group activities.

Currently, we are looking for volunteers in the following cities: Gniezno, Katowice, Kraków, Legionowo, Lublin, Łódź, Pabianice, Świdnik, Tarnów, Wałbrzych
