About the Foundation
The Lena Grochowska Foundation was established in 2014 by Lena and Władysław Grochowski with a mission to support socially excluded individuals. Through various initiatives, such as the Artistic Handicraft Workshop and the network of social cafes “toMy,” the foundation offers comprehensive assistance, enabling people with disabilities to actively participate in professional and social life.
Support for People with Disabilities
Our Activities
In our Artistic Handicraft Workshop we employ nearly 100 people with various types of disabilities. They create unique products such as ceramics, textiles, and artisanal baked goods, which are available in physical stores as well as online.
Support for War Victims
Aid for Refugees from Ukraine
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, we have launched a Refugee Homes network, offering long-term support to people fleeing the war. Every day, up to 600 people can count on our support.
Creativity and integration
Artistic and handicraft workshops
The foundation's branches are located in Siedlce, Warsaw, Łochów, and Gdańsk. Each of them organizes workshops in ceramics, painting, macrame, and culinary arts, co-led by people with disabilities. Participants develop creativity, learn openness, and integrate in a creative atmosphere. You can sign up for regular classes or organize workshops for groups, including companies looking for original forms of integration. This activity breaks down barriers and builds positive attitudes towards diversity. The nearest branch of Lena Grochowska is located in Gdańsk in Dolne Miasto - at Reduta Miś 3 street. There is a ceramic studio and the social café toMy. You are welcome!
