For the third year running, Yabloko is organising a charity New Year fair with participation of various inclusive NGOs whose mission is to help people with disabilities adapt to normal life. Many charitable organisations open workshops where their beneficiaries and volunteers knit, paint, sculpt and thus create diverse handicrafts. Such work not only integrates people into everyday life, but also helps the funds survive: by selling products at markets and fairs, the NGOs support the activities of the workshops, while fair visitors have the opportunity to buy wonderful New Year gifts.

Each item made by the beneficiaries of the NGOs participating in the fair is the result of enormous work and effort.

The fair will take place at Yabloko’s office in Moscow (address: Pyatnitskaya 31, building 2) on 25 December from 16:00 to 21:00.

Russian nationals can register for the fair now by following this link.

Also they can join the fair’s online chat. It will feature items for exclusive online sale!

As a bonus, at the fair one will be able to test the now-traditional mulled wine from our Chairman Nikolai Rybakov.
