Centrum Wsparcia Osób Starszych w Miechowie as an innovative operation of self-government for the benefit of seniors. Local governments throughout Poland are increasingly taking measures to support older people. This is dictated primarily by demographic data, in connection with a rapidly aging society. In addition to institutional support offered by social welfare centers, one of the solutions may be to establish an Centrum Wsparcia Osób Starszych. Such a solution was introduced by the Gmina Miechów (Lesser Poland Voivodeship). Analyzing the Center’s operation after 2 years of existence, an attempt was made to describe several activities that can be used in other municipalities.
