Today for something different. I will be volunteering my next two Sundays to support on of the biggest Polish charities in the world. The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. Since 1993, they have been fundraising for modern hospital equipment in Poland. And managed to be the main driver of upskilling and equipping Polish equivalent of the NHS. They are also one of the biggest influencers of Diversity, Inclusion and Equity in Poland. Through their radio, TV channels and numerous activities throughout the year. There will be free entry events all across the UK on 22nd January and 29th January 2023. You can find out more about them and how to support the cause on the official website – https://en.wosp.org.pl/. Join the fundraisers if you can. Please let me know if you’d like to know more in comments.
My community football club – https://fcalcoholics.co.uk/, is also supporting the cause. More details on the club page.
