A charity festival "City of Not Indifferent" will be held in Moscow on December 7-8. This was announced by the mayor of the capital Sergey Sobyanin in his Telegram-channel.

According to him, the central event of the festival, which will be held on the territory of the urban space "Bread Factory No. 9", will be a fair. "All funds from the sale of toys, dishes and other products of the capital's NGOs will be directed to help children, large families, people of the older generation and animals," Sobyanin wrote.

In addition to the fair, guests will be able to participate in a charity quest, master classes and street winter games designed for people of all ages. It is also planned to organize a multimedia dance show, where any visitor will be able to become a participant.

The festival will also have an interactive zone. There guests will be able to try their hand as a virtual artist, as well as take pictures in the New Year style photo zone.

In October, for the first time in Moscow, the Moscow Philanthropist award ceremony was held. The award is given for the contribution of non-profit organizations (NPOs), socially responsible business and philanthropists to the development of a culture of good deeds. According to Deputy Mayor Natalia Sergunina, the winners were determined in 10 nominations. Thus, in the category "Non-profit organization with history" the award was given to the charitable foundation "Illustrated books for small blind children" working since 1994. The award for the best volunteer program was given to the fund "People's Front. All for Victory!", which since May 2022 has attracted more than 2 thousand volunteers to eliminate the consequences of floods in the regions, deliver humanitarian supplies and provide targeted assistance to residents of new territories and neighboring areas.

The winner in the Best NGO Team category was the Life as a Miracle Foundation, which supports children with severe liver diseases. In the Best Media Campaign category, the award went to the Konstantin Khabensky Charitable Foundation and its project "Extraordinary Ordinary Miracle".
