“Christmas is not just about presents and a Christmas tree. For many people, it is also an opportunity to help those who need support,” Deloitte said in a statement.

“Poles are keen to share what they have with others,” it added.

Over 35 percent of Poles asked about their plans in a survey said they wanted to help people who were struggling with serious illnesses, according to Deloitte.

Almost one in four planned to donate money to help the poorest members of society.

Poles also aimed to support cultural initiatives and organisations which help animals, the report found.

Most often Poles said they would donate up to PLN 100 (USD 26, EUR 23), according to Deloitte.

The average Polish family will spend PLN 1,521 (EUR 355, USD 390) on Christmas this year, according to the consulting company.
