Current projects
Externally financed projects, i.e. free options for those most in need.
Yellow CAT
(Counselling, Advice, Therapy)
Yellow CAT is a project funded by the National Lottery Community Fund. In addition to financing the participation of the initial group, its participants can also count on help with benefits, employment, starting a business and participation in our regular events. This project is the essence of what we do best – helping.
Migrant Gambling Support
Funded by GambleAware, Migrant Gambling Support is a support group for people who are in a gambling crisis. Our therapists and instructors running this program are trained not only to support people who have problems with traditional forms of gambling – such as scratch cards, coupons and sports betting – but also those who practice more unusual forms of gambling, such as online games, loot boxes or cryptocurrencies.
Migrant SHE
(Support, Help, Empowernment)
Migrant SHE, financed by GambleAware, is a support program for women (especially those affected by the gambling crisis, both directly and in the family). By participating in this project, you will take part in: an introductory group, dance therapy, educational workshops on how harmful mechanisms in computer games work and how to wisely protect your child from them, as well as our events, such as St. Nicholas Day or a summer picnic.
