Parents of special children were celebrated in Tobolsk

10 march 2023

More than 60 mothers of special children got invited to attend a charity event called "Love, Spring, and Women" supported by SIBUR's Formula for Good Deeds social investment program.

The festive charity event, timed to fall on the International Women's Day, put in the spotlight the mothers of children with disabilities from Tobolsk. The event, organized by a regional branch of the All-Russian Society of the Disabled, featured an extensive interactive entertainment program filled with various contests and dancing for its guests and attendees. At the end of the party, each mother received a pleasant spring-time present.

- Many of us spend most of our time with our children, sometimes almost never getting a chance to leave home and dedicating all of our efforts to our children’s rehabilitation, development, and education. Of course, it is crucial for us to be able to relax and be not just mothers, but remind ourselves that we’re also women after all. At the charitable event organized for us we were able to enjoy the first signs of the long-awaited spring, have fun and enjoy dancing. I saw smiles on fellow moms' faces. Thank you for putting on this party! Natalia Redikultseva, a participant of the event, commented.

- Compared to last year, the number of parents who joined the ranks of the Tobolsk Regional Branch of the All-Russian Society for the Disabled as legal representatives of minors with disabilities in, has grown by 30 new members, Natalia Varavko, Chair of the Tobolsk Branch of the All-Russian Society for the Disabled, noted. This party was something these mothers had long been looking forward to. And not just because of their expectation to hear kind words and receive nice gifts, but also because this offers them the opportunity to end up in a different setting, away from their homes, to have some ‘me’ time, as all too often a mother like that has to spend all of her time by her child’s side. We would like to thank SIBUR for their support and the opportunity to hold this spring celebration in honor of these mothers.

- SIBUR has been a good partner of the All-Russian Society of the Disabled for many years now. We are truly delighted to have this great opportunity of helping residents of our home city and it gives us a lot of pleasure to be able to do that. One of the areas that our company has been putting an increasingly stronger emphasis on as part of its
Formula for Good Deeds program is inclusion. In 2023, Tobolsk is scheduled to host several of such joint events, including our master classes for children and adults with disabilities dubbed as Workshops of Our Own, Darya Cherepanova, an expert with ZapSibNeftekhim's Department for Government Relations and Socio-Economic Projects, commented
