1. I want to volunteer with you, can I still get in touch with my local Collection Centre? 

The majority of Collection Centres finished the process of recruiting volunteers. Some Collection Centres, however,  can still be looking for volunteers. Get in touch with them and good luck! 

 

2. What can I do to volunteer even though I was too late to register with my local Collection Centre? 

You still can register online iwolontariusz.wosp.org.pl  and create your very own online Collection Box. You might not be able to fundraise in public, but you still can make an online collection a success. 

 

3. Can an underage volunteer collect money on the day of the Grand Finale? 

Yes, of course! You need to remember, however, that your parent or guardian must register a separate account online. What is more, underage volunteers (under 16 years of age) must be accompanied by an adult guardian when collecting money on the day of the Grand Finale.
