Where we work

St Gregory’s Foundation supports projects across Eastern Europe, and in particular in St Petersburg, Moscow and Karelia in North West Russia, in Călărași and Chișinău in Moldova and in Tbilisi in Georgia.

Extreme loneliness is a constant feeling for many young people who grew up in the care system in St Petersburg. Through co-operative games and group discussions, our partners at Sunflower help to build social confidence and trust. This is part of their detailed programme to help young care-leavers overcome their childhood traumas and grow in resilience and life skills. Sunflower have an excellent track record in helping young people build positive relationships and a solid future.

David and Darius were struggling at kindergarten, but fortunately their family was introduced to our colleagues at The Wish. Here their special needs were recognised and they've been given the support they need. https://buff.ly/912HHai

The deaf club in St Petersburg is somewhere where deaf toddlers can learn to play together and make friends. Friendships are also made among the parents. They value meeting other parents who understand their situation and are a great support to each other.

Vova is learning to count out loud. He was born deaf but his parents decided to have him fitted with a cochlear implant. St Gregory's is proud to sponsor a club for deaf toddlers in St Petersburg where all children are helped to communicate in the best way for them. Whether they use signs or words, these children are connecting and developing their relationships and their skills.

Without home visits from our colleagues at Sunflower, Polina and her daughter could easily slip through the net. Polina is doing a great job at keeping her daughter fed, clothed and healthy. But having left home at 13 and grown up in care and with her older sister, Polina is struggling with the more emotional side of parenting. Her anxiety has stopped her joining the parenting support group that Sunflower runs for parents who grew up in care. She finds it difficult to ask for help too. Sunflower are helping her understand her daughter better, and get the support she needs for both of them from a local nursery. NB because of the vulnerability of the family, names and appearance have been changed. https://buff.ly/YwvhzMA
