Amber Gladioli and Amber Catamarans have been distributed!

Prestigious Amber Gladiolus Awards On 1 December, Pomeranian NGOs, associations and foundations received numerous awards during a gala at the European Solidarity Centre in Gdańsk.

The idea and concept of the Amber Gladiolus Award, which has been awarded since 1994, was created at the Regional Centre for Information and Support for Non-Governmental Organisations. The Amber Gladiolus is the first project of this type in the country, as it is an expression of appreciation for the activities of non-governmental organizations at the regional level.

A special award for exceptional attitude during summer storms went to the Volunteer Fire Brigade in Demany. The award was funded by Olivia Business Centre and presented by Stefan Grabski, representing the company.

The Award of the Marshal of the Senate of the Republic of Poland from the hands of Senator Antoni Szymański was received by Małgorzata Rybicka from the Association for Autistic Persons.

The Amber Catamaran was received by Ryszard Kalkowski, the mayor of the Szemud commune. The Amber Catamaran Award was also given to the ” You Can Do It Differently” Association from Starogard Gdański.

A special award for lifetime achievement was given to The Aid Society of st. Brother Albert near Gdansk.
