An element well-settled in the strategy of both insurance societies of Poland's credit union system is charity activities, active support to social actions, cultural and sporting events.

In harmony with the social mission of the credit union system, it is for many years now that we have been financially supporting a number of organisations operating for the benefit of those poorest and most in need. Both societies are Honorary Friends of the Hospice Endowment "Hospice Also Means Life", and assist in making dreams of little patients of the "You Have to Dream" Endowment come true.

At the same time we get involved in numerous cultural and sporting events. The artistic events sponsored by the insurance societies for a number of years include, among others, CU Jazz Sopot Festival and the Christian Culture Festival.

Both CU Mutual Insurance Society and CU Life Insurance Society, Joint-Stock Company, take special care of Polish national heritage such as the "Na Skałce" Monastery or the Jasna Góra Paulinite Monastery, a national shrine.

The two societies have launched many educational and prophylactic campaignss. These include:
"Be an Insured Woman" is a national campaign aimed at undertaking and implementing actions raising insurance awareness of women. Patronage over the campaign was extended by CU Life Insurance Society. The campaign was combined with a national campaign of cervical carcinoma prophylaxis. All the women covered by OPTIMUM insurance were invited to cytological examination, special discounts being offered to them.
The credit union insurance societies are also patrons of the "Safe Summer with the Volunteer Life-Savers' Association of Sopot" campaign. For three years a family event has been held annually, on the Children's Day, with the said Association. Motor boat trips, quad rides, impressive manoeuvres of saving motor boats, life-saver dog shows, family karaoke and lots of contests with attractive prizes is an attraction in which more than 500 children participate annually on the Sopot beach. The event is also aimed at education and promotion of safe behaviour when on a beach.
"Be on the Safe Side" is a campaign about accident prevention, in terms of law. The major objective of the campaign is promotion of safe behaviour in traffic and in everyday life and prevention of human helplessness evoked by the tricky legal system. The campaign is targeted at children, young persons and all those needing additional assistance (both financial and intellectual, legal assistance in particular).

Juniors of LECHIA GDAŃSK Sports Club

We have been supporting the youngest ones striving to become champions. Since 2007 we have been provide financial assistance to the Football Training Centre of Lechia Gdańsk, being the sponsor of the junior team. We believe that the young football players are actually at the very beginning of their way towards major successes which they are bound to achieve with time thanks to their dedication and enthusiasm.

"Boast Your Child" contest

Both insurance companies of the credit union system organise the "Boast Your Child" contest, targeting the most talented children of credit union members. The first round of the contest was completed in August 2007. From among almost 500 candidates the final three persons were selected by the jury (in the categories of: scientific, artistic and sporting achievements). Each of the winners was awarded an annual scholarship. The great interest stirred up among credit union members by the contest has prompted us to continue the initiative.

Scholarships for students of the Higher School of Finance and Administration

Every year, at the solemn opening of the academic year at the Higher School of Finance and Administration in Gdańsk, the best students are awarded scholarships won in a contest under the patronage of the President of the CU Mutual Insurance Society..

"Odysseus"

"Odysseus" is a group of young people from DAMB Creative Psychoeducation Centre of Gdańsk. The Centre aims at discovering talents and skills of children and youngsters and creating to them congenial conditions for coming up with ingenious ideas. Thanks to the financial support by the CU Mutual Insurance Society, the young Odysseuses could go to the world finals of the "Odyssey of the Mind" contest to the USA, where they won the bronze medal, leaving behind 55 teams from all parts of the world.

"VIKING" School Students' Judo Club

For many years the credit union insurance societies have been providing sponsorship to the sportsmen from "VIKING" School Students' Judo Club.
