Akcja Gwiazdor – We make children’s dreams of Christmas gifts come true
2023-12-14
Recently, the employees of the Punkta Group companies, i.e. Ison Care and Punkta Pro, took part in the annual Gwiazdor Campaign. The campaign involves preparing Christmas parcels in response to letters to Santa Claus written by children of MOPS, orphanages, Caritas and other centers.
Foundations of the Gwiazdor Action
Tradition
The Gwiazdor campaign is associated with Christmas traditions. We make children’s dreams about Christmas gifts come true. Its roots go back to Poznań, where Gwiazdor brings gifts to children, hence the name.
Idea
We connect children and donors. The idea is to find Gwiazdors for letters from children. In the letters, the child writes personally or with the help of a guardian what Christmas gift he or she dreams of.
Help
We help children who are in a difficult financial or social situation and who rarely receive material support.
Children
These are mainly children indicated by Towarzystwo Przyjaciół Dzieci – an organization that has been working for children for over 100 years, but not only that. We also have children from MOPS, Caritas, orphanages and centers that care for elderly disabled people (so-called Big Children).
Number of children that have received help from Akcja Gwiazdor since 2011.
Independence Run 2023 / Bieg Niepodległości 2023
2023-11-11
On November 11, on the 105th anniversary of Poland regaining its independence, the Independence Run took place in Gdynia. Of course, we couldn’t miss it 🙂 The event was attended by almost 4,000 participants from all over Poland, so it can be said that Gdynia became the capital of running that day.
The weather was favorable for runners. Although the sun appeared in the sky, the temperature was perfect for competition and fast running, which we took advantage of by breaking our personal records. There was an extraordinary atmosphere at the start – participants dressed in T-shirts in national colours, full of the spirit of patriotism and ready to overcome their own boundaries. The Independence Run was not only an opportunity for sports competition, but also to commemorate an important event in the history of Poland – regaining independence.

4Paws Fundraise
2023-09-29
Over the last few months, together with the Employees and Friends of Punkta Pro, we have been conducting a fundraiser to support the Zbożne Homeless Animal Shelter.
We managed to collect PLN 2,840! A big thank you to all our supporters!
The money we collected was turned into material assistance (including wet and dry food for dogs and cats, as well as specialized food, supplements for joints, for allergy sufferers, for older dogs…) We have personally delivered all goods to the shelter.
Two residents especially benefited from our visit to the shelter: Carmen and Kajtuś went with us for a little stroll in the area.
Fundraising for Fundacja Przyjaciele Palucha
2023-09-27
ISON Care is raising money for Fundacja Przyjaciele Palucha.
The Foundation was established to help sick residents of the “Na Paluchu” Animal Shelter and other homeless animals or those at risk of homelessness, to protect animals and respect their rights.
On September 17, the representation of Punkta Group companies participated in the Westerplatte Run. It is an event with an extraordinary tradition and message: the start takes place at Westerplatte, the finish line is at the European Solidarity Center, and the 10-kilometer route symbolically connects the path from war to freedom.
For us, apart from the extremely important historical aspect, the Westerplatte Run also has another meaning – this is where we started our joint adventure with running as part of the Punkta Group Team. It brings a tear to our eyes to remember us standing together at the starting line six years ago.
Year by year, the interest in our running training is growing, who knows, maybe the next race we will be proud of together will be a marathon?

On July 9, 2023, our women’s group team took part in the Garmin Iron Triathlon in Syców. From each entry fee for the women’s race, PLN 200 was donated to the Rak’n’Roll Foundation for its statutory purposes. Thanks to Rak’n’Roll’s ideas, women suffering from cancer began to fight for their femininity in the disease and for the disease to be treated with dignity and consciously. Today, Rak’n’Roll supports not only women but also men with cancer.
Congratulations to our competitors for completing their distances in great times. With the participation of fans, we know that the conditions were difficult and the heat on the route did not make the girls’ tasks easy. That’s the power!
Cleaning the Kabacki Forest
2023-06-17
Arrant cares about the environment!
On one Saturday in June, Arrant employees participated in the charity cleaning of the Kabacki Forest. To our positive surprise, there was less garbage in the forest than we expected. This is very good news! It fills us with optimism and gives me hope for a general improvement in ecological awareness in society. After several hours of cleaning, it was time for a well-deserved rest and integration by the fire.
Thank you for your commitment!
X-mas for homeless animals
2022-12-20
Winter is not an easy time in animal shelters. Especially around the holidays, many new residents come to shelters. As part of the well@work project, we decided to support the Warsaw Shelter on Paluchu. In the December collection for the shelter in Paluch, we collected nearly PLN 400, and the same amount was donated by the ISON Management Board for this purpose. Food and pet supplies purchased for the collected amount were given to animals in the new year. The campaign was warmly welcomed by employees who actively participated in purchasing and packing the gifts. We plan to repeat the collection next year – it’s worth helping.

Working with another person, especially a person in a difficult or crisis situation, can be a challenge.Dealing with the emotions, needs and helplessness of clients, which are expressed in many, not always constructive, ways, is a task that is burdensome and heavily exploits the helper’s resources.Your health and well-being are a strategic priority of ISON Care, which is why, together with the Well@Work Team, a pilot program of therapeutic support for ISON Care employees was prepared. The pilot started on September 14 and will last until December 31 this year. Each employee in a crisis situation, but not only, can use the help of specialists from the HELP Psychotherapy Center.Let’s take care of ourselves.
