Purpose: The aim of this article is to verify the thesis on the importance of social capital in the self-organisation of Polish society. The subject of the study was aid activities for refugees from Ukraine. Social capital is understood as a set of basic ties and relations occurring between members of a given social group. It is cemented by such values as trust, honesty, fulfilment of contracts and obligations, and action for the common good. Design/methodology/approach: The verification of the adopted thesis required the application of methodological pluralism using an analysis and synthesis of the literature on social capital. In-depth analyses were also made of the results of survey research on the aid activities of Poles provided to refugees in the period February-April 2022. Findings: The results of the survey indicate that the massive influx of Ukrainian citizens has unleashed resources of bonding and bridging social capital in Polish society. In the first weeks of Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine, it was primarily individuals (informal capital) and then NGOs (formal capital) that rushed to help the refugees. During this time, the institutions of the state launched legal, organisational and financial procedures. The spontaneous, grassroots self-organisation of Polish society showed once again that Poles have a stock of social capital that is activated especially in emergency situations. Originality/value: The findings are invariably relevant for further scientific work on the development of society's self-organisation skills. In emergency situations, when state structures are not yet ready for anti-crisis measures, it is society that assumes the burden of responding to threats. The accumulation of social capital makes these actions effective and serves the common good. (original abstract)
