The volunteer organization “Blago” reports: “Today, representatives of the volunteer organization “Blago” - head Vladimir Utkin, Pavel Lushnikov and Olga Utkina - visited the Federal Penitentiary Institution of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in the Ivanovo region. The meeting took place within the framework of a previously signed agreement on cooperation in the implementation of socially significant, charitable and volunteer projects.

During the meeting, guests presented the activities of the organization, focusing on six key areas of work. The discussion focused on three possible vectors of interaction with registered persons, both those in custody and those released.

The first direction is targeted assistance within the framework of the “Blago-delivery” project. We are talking about supporting people over 50 years of age who have been released from prison: food, medicine and basic necessities can be purchased for them.

The second is to attract former convicts to participate in Blago’s social events, as well as provide them with things from the organization’s warehouse.

Third, the involvement of registered minors in socially useful activities through participation in the organization’s events.

All designated directions are being implemented...
