Since 2018 this program has organized volunteer work across 8 districts of Katowice. Below are the practical reasons local residents and organizations keep working with us.
Volunteer teams currently operate in 8 districts around Katowice, including Pszczynska and neighboring areas. Requests are matched to the nearest available team, which keeps travel time short and coordination simple.
Most requests receive a reply within 2 hours during business hours. A coordinator reviews the task, checks volunteer availability, and confirms a date without unnecessary back and forth.
11 people coordinate scheduling, community outreach, and on-site work. Each person handles a specific part of the process, from intake calls to task follow-up, so nothing gets lost between steps.
Since 2018, the program has completed 1,108 jobs for 616 clients across Katowice. That history helps volunteers estimate timing and materials more accurately for new requests.
144 clients have come back for a second job, often for seasonal upkeep or a follow-up task at the same address. Returning clients skip the intake step and go straight to scheduling.
Every job follows the same sequence: request, site check, confirmation, execution, sign-off. Clients know what step comes next and roughly how long it will take before work starts.
The catalogue covers 7 distinct service categories, from yard cleanup to indoor repair support. Each category has its own process page, so expectations are set before booking.
Costs are listed per service category in zloty, with no hidden fees added afterward. Where a job depends on scope, the range is stated upfront during the confirmation call.
Requests go straight to the coordination office at Pszczynska 114, Katowice, by phone or email. There is no automated queue standing between a request and a scheduling reply.
The office operates Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 18:00, with no weekend calls. This fixed schedule keeps the coordination team focused and reduces missed or delayed replies during the week.
