The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity plays all over the world. 87 Collection Centres in 25 different countries, across 4 continents, took our initiative to a new global level.

There are no borders nor limits to our Orchestra. Thanks to our incredible international Collection Centres, the 31st Grand Finale is held in such distant places as Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, the UK, the USA, and at the Polish Polar Station Hornsund in Norway.
Where the sun rises first
Some of our Collection Centres have in fact already closed their gates… As the sun in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Indonesia slowly goes down, our amazing Collection Centres are sharing their preliminary results and fantastic photos from their Grand Finale activities.

Melbourne, for instance, has totally nailed it. The Collection Centre have raised as much as PLN 43,000 during a three-hour-long Grand Finale. Luckily enough, none of the deadly intruders, incl. spiders and snakes, have killed the mood, they report and send a badge of beautiful photos as confirmation.

What’s still ahead of us?
Outdoor swimmers from Iceland for the GOCC
Iceland takes the motto “Stay healthy in a healthy world” quite seriously. A joint gathering for winter swimmers is just one out of many attractions planned for the Grand Finale in Iceland. The local Collection Centre has organized the Get Even with Diabetes Race too and prepared a number of auctions for all those who are willing to support the initiative.
Even more winter swimmers in the Netherlands
One of the Dutch Collection Centres also encourages all the brave to join in for outdoor swimming. That should be a truly thrilling experience! Be brave, though, a hot cup of tea will wait for all the adventurers.
Love is in the arctic air

Scotland lights up the skies
Edinburgh invites everyone to an exciting motorcycle parade and a music night at La Bella Angele. Listening to live music, auctions, and a light show definitely sounds like perfect plans for celebrating the 31st Grand Finale!
