Founded in 1997, the Sopron Tigers Sports Association in Hungary promotes youth development and inclusion through sport. Its wheelchair basketball team, a multiple-time national champion, continues to inspire with its achievements. Based on the recommendation by VELUX Magyarország LKR, Hungary, the club purchased a ball-feeding machine that improves training efficiency by enhancing throwing accuracy and collecting balls automatically. For the team’s dedicated athletes, this innovation makes training more efficient and enjoyable.

In the picturesque village of Jakubowice in Poland’s Opole Province, history meets renewal. The local park – once a historic cemetery – has been transformed into a peaceful gathering place for residents. The Employee Foundation has, via the recommendation by NM Polska, Poland, funded unique benches surrounding trees, a bird bath, and additional seating, all blending seamlessly with the park’s natural and historical charm. Today, locals come here to relax, read, and enjoy the beauty of sunrises and sunsets.

Based on the recommendation by Dobroplast Fabryka Okien, Poland, the Zespół Szkół Agroprzedsiębiorczości in Zambrów, Poland has received a grant for the purchase of fitness trampolines and reaction sensors, greatly enhancing physical education and sports activities. This modern equipment has enhanced both the physical and cognitive development of students while also making sports activities more engaging and enjoyable.

Ringkøbing Cycle Club’s children and adolescent department aims to bring young cycling enthusiasts together for cycling activities, to teach them cycling skills, road safety and prepare them for cycling sports. Children as young as 4 can train their skills in the club, and the intention is to expand the target group to 18 years.

Ringkøbing Cycle Club has existed since 1994, bringing together local cycling enthusiasts, including children and young people. Following a recommendation from DOVISTA in Ringkøbing, Denmark, the club bought four mountain bikes for children aged 4-12 with funds from the foundation.

In addition to its successful senior clubs for men and women, Rugby Club La Hulpe in Belgium also has a large junior division of 85 under-12s and 66 members aged 12 to 18.

The club attaches great importance to the human virtues of integrity, passion, solidarity, discipline and respect, and the club’s coaches instil these values actively in teamplay.

Recently, the club also set up a programme for players with disabilities, but not without substantial investment in time and money. As a result, the junior programme was short of new equipment, which the Employee Foundation has been able to help them with financially.

Thanks to the initiative by Dobroplast - Fabryka okien PVC and support from the Employee Foundation of the VKR Group, the Municipal Nursery in Zambrów has received four specialized prams. These prams will enable 16 toddlers who cannot walk to enjoy outdoor trips and spend time in the fresh air.  

MG FIGHT TEAM, founded in 2012 by the POHIE brothers, is an MMA club in Gamaches, northern France, led by professional heavyweight fighter Kevin. With an Employee Foundation grant, the club renovated the Marceaux Thorel hall by reinforcing walls, adding plasterboard and wall mats, and installing new tatami mats and sport-themed decorations. The upgrades help provide better training conditions for the club’s 70 members, including children, adults, and celebrities who conduct workshops in boxing and wrestling.

For over 20 years, the organisation has operated the ”Meals on Wheels” program, delivering hot meals to individuals who are lonely, impoverished, or disabled. This service is crucial, as many recipients face challenges that prevent them from caring for themselves due to financial hardships or disabilities.

The program not only provides essential nourishment but also companionship, helping to alleviate feelings of isolation. By visiting these individuals, we foster a sense of connection within the community.

Recently, the Maltieciai group from Marijampole, Lithuania, reached out for assistance in acquiring thermoses for meal delivery. This equipment will enhance their ability to serve individuals in rural areas who may be even more isolated.

This initiative addresses immediate food needs while fostering community support for those who may feel forgotten. We are excited about the positive impact this collaboration will have an remain committed to supporting vulnerable populations, ensuri that no one faces hunger or loneliness alone.
