Material support for cat shelters

KERAMOST, a.s. has long provided material support to animal shelters in the form of donations of cat litter. Among the cat shelters we support are O.S. Mostecké kočky, Kočičí Azyl, O.S. Šanta kočičí, Srdcem pro kočky o.s., Pražský spolek ochránců zvířat, and many others. Our goal is to support these organizations and the people who care for these animals, to provide them with material gifts for their charges, and to enable them to find new friendships and contacts that will support them and help them in their care for these living, voiceless creatures. Unfortunately, it is not within our power to help all applicants. We would be very grateful if you could support a cat shelter in your area with any donation or help find a new home for a cat. Thank you ;-)

Support for culture in nearby communities

We are aware of the impact of mining activities on surrounding communities and their residents. As part of its social responsibility, KERAMOST, a.s. focuses not only on minimizing negative impacts on the environment, but also on improving the quality of life in these regions by supporting cultural life. Through these initiatives, our company contributes to the development of regions and strengthens their vitality, clearly demonstrating its commitment to the communities that are part of its operations. 

We most often support events such as municipal balls, dances, harvest festivals, children's days, municipal anniversaries, St. Nicholas Day celebrations, and Christmas tree lighting ceremonies. 

Young Rescuer Competition

The event is organized in cooperation with the Ústí Region Firefighters Sports Club, the Ústí Region Emergency Medical Service, the Czech Police, the Most Municipal Police, the Litvínov Municipal Police, and the Obrnice Volunteer Fire Department. The competition is intended for 7th and 8th grade elementary school students. Its aim is to test and deepen the knowledge and skills of elementary school students in the Most district in rescue issues, especially in the areas of first aid, self-protection, and helping people in danger. KERAMOST, a.s. supports this event every year with financial and material donations.

Sports support

Sport is a key element for a healthy lifestyle. We strive to financially support sports clubs and teams, including youth clubs, that motivate young people to be active. These steps not only positively affect the physical fitness of residents, but also strengthen community cohesion and bring joy from exercise. The supported clubs include:

  • SK Fotbal Braňany
  • FC Baník Chomutov
