The Anton resource center for autism issues has opened in St. Petersburg.

A new resource center has opened in St. Petersburg to help people with autism and their families. The Anton Charity Foundation has been preparing for this event for the last 5 years and was able to complete all the work thanks to T-Bank doubling donations from 61,874 customers as part of the Course of Kindness initiative.

The Anton Foundation participated in the Course of Kindness program in August-September 2025. During these two months, the bank's clients from all regions of Russia supported the initiative to create an Autism Resource Center in St. Petersburg and transferred 40.7 million rubles, and T-Bank doubled this amount - 81.4 million rubles were allocated for repairs, communications, finishing works, purchase of equipment, materials and two years of uninterrupted operation of the center..

The creation of the Anton Resource Center was the first completed infrastructure project of T-Bank within the framework of the "Course of Kindness".

"Soon, thanks to the center, some of the children will start talking to their parents for the first time, some will learn to eat on their own, take care of themselves and get to know their peers, some parents will realize that they are not alone. Together with other funds participating in the Course of Kindness, we are starting to summarize the results of our joint work and scale up the solution of social problems across the country," said Tatiana Polyakova, Head of the Strategic Social Projects Department at T—Bank.

"This is such a long-awaited event for our foundation and families that I can't even believe that this moment has really come. For people with autism and their families, this is an opportunity to receive hundreds of consultations, study, find people who are close in spirit, get the necessary skills, be close and know that you are not alone," said Elena Filbert, director of the Anton Tut Near Foundation.

The main principle of the Anton Resource Center is to support the whole family.
