Safe WOŚP Finale: Tips for Donors and Volunteers

On January 26, 2025, the 33rd Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity will take place, aiming to support pediatric oncology and hematology. Police from across Poland will ensure the safety of this event.

Police Involvement

Thousands of police officers will be engaged in maintaining order during the Finale. They will pay special attention to the legality of collections and the safety of volunteers and children collecting donations. Actions will also include education for the elderly.

Tips for Donors

To support WOŚP safely, pay attention to the volunteers' identification:

• The ID should include the volunteer's name, surname, number, and photo.
• Make sure the ID has the heart logo of the WOŚP Foundation.
• The volunteer's collection box should be sealed and stamped.

If you suspect fraud, contact the police.

Beware of Online Scams

During the Finale, online scams may occur. Be cautious of SMS messages asking you to click on a link, as they may lead to dangerous sites.

Verify website addresses and use only official WOŚP channels.

Tips for Volunteers

Volunteers should collect money in safe locations, such as:

• Shopping malls with security
• Areas with high pedestrian traffic
• Well-lit locations under surveillance.

Volunteers under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. It’s important not to collect donations alone and to avoid discussions with individuals opposed to the WOŚP idea.

Conclusion

Safety during the WOŚP Finale is crucial. The police encourage reporting any disturbing situations. We wish all volunteers full collection boxes and a safe return to their headquarters!
