We’re deeply moved to share that our project “Breath for Moms” was honoured with the title of 2023 Initiative of the Year — an award recognising the most impactful community initiatives in Poznań.

The project offers moments of rest and relief to mothers who provide full-time care for their adult children with disabilities. We’ve already held 20 “breaths” — from a trip to Pol'and'Rock Festival, to an evening with the Hrabi comedy group, to musical theatre, cinema outings, beauty treatments, and many other unforgettable moments with these amazing women.

The “Initiatory” competition is organised by the City of Poznań to honour the best grassroots projects that support local communities and improve the lives of city residents.

We’re grateful to the award jury for this meaningful recognition — and we share it wholeheartedly with Żurawinka Association, whose support has been essential to this project from the very beginning.

The award was accepted on behalf of the foundation by Agata Robińska, our president, who was visibly moved during the ceremony.

“I dedicate this award to all the wonderful mothers I get to meet. For me, these meetings are also a breath — a chance to step back from everyday challenges. I truly value these moments,” - said Agata.

We also congratulate the other winners and thank you for your important contributions to the Poznań community.

Partners who made it possible

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the companies, organisations, and individuals who make these “Breaths” possible. You are amazing.
