Equipment for Mountain Volunteer Search & Rescue Teams


Our charity supports Polish Mountain Volunteer Search & Rescue teams! This time we donated 72 fully equipped "rescue backpacks" and professional paramedic bags. 

We have been joined by representatives of all Polish Volunteer Mountain Rescue Teams (GOPR) who received equipment from the hands of the chairman of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, Jurek Owsiak. Our Foundation supports the work of volunteers, who came to Warsaw to pick up 72 pieces of equipment. This time, we have donated "rescue backpacks" and professional paramedic bags, which are worth over 500 000 PLN.

It is the second time we donated equipment to Polish rescue teams, which work to ensure that tourists can enjoy Polish mountains. The teams are known for their dedication to the cause and their professionalism is a guarantee of safety in the mountains. We are delighted that we have been able to support their valuable work.

Volunteer rescuers joined us to witness our attempt to set a new record of the biggest simultaneous CPR session which took place to celebrate European Restart a Heart Day. We hope that our initiative, which attracted over 100 thousand participants nationwide will help raise awareness of how important it is to learn CPR and first aid.
