10. Lifeboats sailed for a record for seniors! [Collection summary]

The Power of the Mobile Vikings Community

The mighty Viking community has surprised us not for the first time. During the Lifeboat cruise for our friends from Ukraine, we collected a record-breaking nearly 70,000 GB in one month. For comparison, until then, the total accumulated GB from previous editions was around 85,000.

This time, the GB collection didn't last a month, but 3 days! We announced the mobilization of the Viking crew on June 13th at 9:00 AM, and you filled the Lifeboat by June 16th at 12:00 PM. You broke all the records of the 9th edition of the Lifeboats (except for the amount for Ukraine, but you understand that it was a special mobilization). The holiday season, a new box in Viking Store, a significant amount to collect. There were plenty of challenges. But the Charitable Vikings felt the wind in their sails! The Lifeboats had barely set sail when they reached the port. All thanks to 💪 mighty crew members. You rowed shoulder to shoulder, and the Lifeboat filled up at a record pace. We are moved and proud! 🙌 A Viking has a strong back and a soft heart. You proved that a network of people, not numbers is more than just a slogan. It's worth doing telecom differently for such a community! Humanely. #EverythingForOurOwn

Despite our best efforts to extend the collection, we couldn't stop you. We broke the record of nine editions together! I'm incredibly moved by how much we can count on you. There is strength in numbers! Thanks to this, we will truly support those who once took care of us.

summarizes the action Karolina Marciniak, coordinator of the Lifeboats.

Helmets off! And now it's our turn…

We want to ceremoniously blow the horn and announce that we are now turning 40,000 GB into gold. We will convert it into 🪙 PLN 20,000 and donate it to the beneficiaries of the YOUR PRESENCE HELPS ME LIVE program, an initiative of the Society of Little Brothers of the Poor. This organization has been caring for 20 years to ensure that the loneliness affecting the elderly is forgotten, thanks to the presence of volunteers in their lives.

What now? Where will the filled Lifeboats sail?

The funds from the Charitable Vikings will ensure the functioning of the PRESENCE Program throughout July! As many as 700 pairs – formed by seniors and volunteers – will build 🤝 intergenerational relationships in several Polish cities throughout the month, thanks to our joint action!

Loneliness takes away the meaning of life from seniors, and you – together with your mobile operator – help them regain it! Ahoy to the loneliness of seniors! Let it be replaced by care and presence.

It is thanks to your GB, among other things, that an elderly lady will have someone to go to the park with, to admire nature with a loved one, as she did years ago. Together with a friendly volunteer, she will have coffee, talk about what brings her joy and what is a challenge, and receive help and understanding. Thanks to your GB, you will connect them. Just as we connect you 📱💻🌍 with loved ones and the world every day.

Lifeboats in Viking Store – premiere!

The 10th Lifeboats will also dock at the Viking Store: Dbamiętnik – limited edition – will be released on June 27th! It's a personalized notebook designed specifically for the 10th voyage. But besides blank pages for your unrestrained brainstorming and casual notes, you'll find something else in it. We've prepared 15 enjoyable challenges. Why? To inspire you to connect with others and with yourself. Humanly. Because in the end, we are creating a network of people, not numbers. If you have any unused GB left, exchange them for your Dbamiętnik.
