- News We received the Greater Poland Region Social Award – “Wonder of the Year” With joy and emotion, we are proud to announce that our initiative “A Breath for Moms” has been honored with the Greater Poland Region Social Award – Wonder of the Year! This recognition is truly special for us, because “A Breath for Moms” is more than just a project. It’s a space where mothers – caregivers of adult children with disabilities – can pause for a moment, take care of themselves, feel seen and valued… simply take a breath.
- News The October edition of “Breath for Moms” – full of emotion, joy, and adrenaline! Can you combine heartfelt emotion with an adrenaline rush? YES! All it takes are our amazing Moms — who first got moved by an exhibition dedicated to them, and just moments later... were racing go-karts! All this took place during another edition of “A Breath for Moms” — a series of meetings offering respite to mothers who care every day for their adult children with disabilities.
- News Accessibility begins with experience – an educational event for Credit Agricole Bank Poland Accessibility begins with experience.... We often talk about removing barriers, but to truly understand them, you have to encounter them. That is why our disability experience stations, “Change your perspective with Agatas” – created by Agata Robińska and Agata Spała-Zakrzewska – open eyes, allow to look from a different perspective, and are an important step towards greater empathy and understanding.
- News Pol’and’Rock Festival 2025 – Thousands of people, music, freedom… and our YES Mums! Pol’and’Rock Festival 2025 – Thousands of people, music, freedom… and our YES Mums! They’re usually the ones standing to the side. The caregivers. The medication managers. The organisers of rehab sessions. The ones who carry – literally and emotionally – the everyday life of their adult children with disabilities. They don’t complain. They don’t ask for much. Sometimes they just quietly dream. But this time, everything was different. They let themselves go with the music and the festival vibe. They dared to ride the Ferris wheel – despite the fear. They met people who saw them not as caretakers, but as vibrant, living women. This special day was part of our long-standing programme, “A breath for Mums”, which we continue to run with heart and commitment.
- News Leroy Merlin Poland – From a love of inclusion and diversity "From a love of home" – that’s the slogan Leroy Merlin Poland has recently been using to connect with customers. What captured our hearts was its inclusive version, as the company invited our foundation to collaborate on the project: "Let’s include barrier-free spaces!". Now, after six months of working together – and with July being Disability Pride Month – we can proudly say: at Leroy Merlin Polska, including barrier-free spaces is more than a slogan. It’s a thoughtful, mature, and consistently implemented programme that is genuinely changing the everyday experience of employees – not just those with disabilities.
- News July is Disability Pride Month — and pride in our YES Team! Disability Pride Month is here — and during this time, we’re especially proud of our YES Team, which embodies everything Disability Pride stands for. This international awareness month gives people with disabilities more voice, visibility, and space. It’s a time to speak out for equality, break stereotypes, and build a world where everyone belongs.

The organisers – ROCKWOOL GBS and the Wózkowicze Foundation – aim to challenge stereotypes and show that the business services sector offers a wide range of career opportunities for people with diverse backgrounds, talents, and ambitions, regardless of disability type.

- News Education and Recruitment: The Recipe for Inclusion at Beiersdorf Poland We all know NIVEA cream, but we had the opportunity to meet and support the exceptional team at Beiersdorf Poland, the creators behind it. While the cream's formula remains a secret — so don't ask :) — we're eager to share our own recipe for including people with disabilities. It combines inclusive education with recruitment. Education + Recruitment = Inclusion. This synergy leads to genuine inclusion through employment.
