LSR Group is actively involved in solving priority development issues of the regions where it operates. We invest in social and charitable programs and take part in landscaping, construction and reconstruction of important social facilities. LSR Group works closely with non-profit organisations, offering advice and organising joint charity projects.
LSR Group’s charity policy is based on the following key principles:
Key focus areas of LSR Group’s charity activities:
Supporting the activities of the League of Public Associations of Parents of Children with Disabilities (GAOORDI) in St. Petersburg |
|
Cooperation with the Children Are Waiting charitable foundation and the St. Petersburg Parents regional advocacy group |
|
Collaboration with the Parents’ Bridge charity foundation |
|
Supporting inclusive children’s art centres |
|
Collaboration with the Russian State Specialised Academy of the Arts (RGSAI) |
|
We have been supporting the work of the Children Are Waiting charitable foundation since 2010, providing them with organisational assistance and advice, as well as collaborating on other projects. The key objectives of our collaboration are: helping orphaned children to find families, consulting future foster parents, and providing psychological support and comprehensive assistance to foster families.
In 2020, LSR Group continued to work alongside the Children Are Waiting charity foundation to update and repopulate the databases of adoption portals and websites. LSR Group helps to systematise and regularly update information about orphanages and the children living in them. In 2020, thanks to our joint efforts, 302 children found their loving parents, bringing the total number to 3,946 since the launch of the project.
One of the major collaborative projects revolves around the support for the Family Adaptation Centre. In 2020:
In 2020, one of the Family Adaptation Centre’s priorities was helping children and teenagers with disabilities integrate into their social environment, develop communication skills, and build confidence in their social and personal value. Children were taught how to learn online. This gave the participants a chance to communicate with each other and try their hand at different activities and forms of interaction in a safe environment.
The Novaya Okhta and Okhta On the River assisted living projects are the first services of their kind in Russia, providing supported accommodation as a viable alternative to care homes for people with disabilities. The project is being carried out by the non-profit League of Public Associations of Parents of Children with Disabilities (GAOORDI) in collaboration with the business community (LSR Group) and the government.
The first assisted living home was launched in St. Petersburg in June 2017, and the second one opened its doors in August 2019. At present, there are 19 people aged 18 to 54 living in each home, and servicing them are 24 employees working in shifts. Thanks to LSR Group’s support, the staff get a monthly bonus.
In 2020, the employees of both homes carried on with their work without any disruption, ensuring utmost comfort of the patients. In summer, they accompanied the residents to the countryside in the Solnechnoye settlement.
In honour of Social Worker Day on 8 June, President Vladimir Putin held a video meeting with the people engaged in the social sector across different Russian regions. He was joined by the GAOORDI President and Novaya Okhta residents.
Since 2018, LSR Group has been a partner of the Russian State Specialised Academy of the Arts (RGSAI), the world’s only educational institution giving people with disabilities an opportunity to get a full higher education in arts. This partnership was a logical step in the development of our corporate social responsibility programme, whose key goals include supporting society’s most vulnerable groups, in particular children with developmental disorders. It gives talented young people with disabilities, some of whom have attended inclusive children’s centres supported by LSR Group, an opportunity to earn bachelor’s, master’s and postgraduate degrees in such subjects as music, fine arts and drama. They are also assisted with finding a job afterwards.
For many years, LSR Group has been taking an active role in projects which aim to develop Russian culture and preserve the nation’s historical and artistic heritage. In 2020, LSR Group continued to support the renovation of architectural monuments, allocating the needed building materials and funding for artistic, finishing and engineering works.
LSR Group also focuses on the development of contemporary arts and the support for educational and cultural projects. LSR Group regularly sponsors concerts for socially vulnerable groups and people with disabilities. In light of the pandemic, some events scheduled for 2020 were cancelled and some were moved online.
