Grant program - "Here I Live, Here I Make Changes "
The project, carried out within the framework of the Santander Bank Polska Foundation’s grant program enabled integration of young people from our school with seniors from the Kurpie and Ostrołęka Seniors Association. Thanks to the grant, a place for training, exercise, meetings and cross-generation integration was created. I hope that it will serve well both young people and seniors for a long time.
The aim of the Program is to improve the standards and quality of life through the introduction of sustainable changes in the local environment and the integration of local communities. Thanks to the awarded grants new facilities were built or existing ones were renovated and upgraded, contributing to major positive changes in local communities throughout Poland.
