This marks the second consecutive year of the Company’s involvement with the Foundation, which was established by the leading fast-food restaurant chain Vkusno i Tochka. Cherkizovo’s previous support included renovating a Family Room at the Ulyanovsk Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital in 2024.
This year, Cherkizovo Group has supported the creation of a Family House within walking distance of the main building of the Children’s City Clinical Hospital in Moscow. The two-story building, spanning approximately 1,500 sq m, will house 26 bedrooms, a living room, a playroom, a dining room, and a kitchen. It will provide free accommodation for parents of young patients for whom it is vital to remain with their families during long-term treatment. Priority will be given to patients from the most vulnerable population groups: low-income, large, or single-parent families who have traveled to Moscow for treatment from remote regions of Russia.
“For several years, Cherkizovo Group has supported the Foundation’s program to help parents stay close to their children during complex, often long-term treatment. This mission resonates deeply with our Company’s values, where caring for loved ones is a cornerstone. By participating, we are proud to contribute to the tremendous work that each year supports thousands of children through challenging times,” said Anastasia Mikhailova, Head of Communications at Cherkizovo Group.
“We are profoundly grateful to Cherkizovo for their steadfast support and engagement in our projects. As we mark the Foundation’s 30th anniversary, it is particularly encouraging to have like-minded partners at our side — companies that share our values and have demonstrated a long‑term commitment to them. This year is one of reflection and setting future goals. With the help of reliable partners like Cherkizovo, we are able to launch new initiatives and continue to help families remain together during trying times, by creating spaces where they can find a home away from home,” said Ekaterina Myslitskaya, CEO of the Family Together Charitable Foundation.
The Family Together Foundation is one of Russia’s oldest charitable foundations, with a history dating back to 1995. Its main goal is to help children and their parents avoid separation during long-term medical treatment. The Foundation implements projects across the country, including a free Family House in Kazan, Family Rooms in five hospitals, two inclusive children’s playgrounds, and a program of adaptive physical education classes for families with children with disabilities. In 2024, the Foundation began construction of the first free Family House in Moscow, which will help 1,500 families from different regions of Russia stay near their children during treatment each year. The Foundation’s work is funded through charitable donations and partnership programs.
