The “Good Kazan” Coworking will bring together over 100 charitable communities

The “Good Kazan” Coworking with a call center and a conference hall will open by the end of August in the Sovetsky district. It will bring together representatives of more than 100 charitable communities under one roof, who will gather to share experience and develop joint projects. Up to 24 specialists will be able to work in the offices at the same time. Currently, renovation is continuing in the facility allocated by the municipality. The Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin inspected the progress of work.

The head of the city noted that the volume of assistance provided and the number of people willing to participate in charity are growing every year, therefore in October 2021 it was decided to allocate a more spacious facility. Previously, the organization was located in an office with an area of about 8 sq.m on Profsouznaya Street – it was not possible to hold seminars and meetings with representatives of other charitable associations.

“Today, the “Good Kazan” has more than 100 partners – these are people who are not indifferent to the problems of others. We want to thank them and arrange a coworking with comfortable conditions for effective work,”- said the Mayor of Kazan. I. Metshin expressed hope that coworking will become a new big home for both employees of experienced charity organizations, and for those who are just starting their activities.

In a room on the first floor of a residential building at 5 Sechenov Street with an area of 506 sq. m, the overhaul has been carried out since March. After the opening of the coworking, the “Good Kazan” Foundation will be able to hold master classes, seminars, meetings with beneficiaries and other events. Mothers of children with disabilities can also work in the coworking every day and receive assistance from tutors and volunteers. The director of the ANO “Good Kazan” Tatiana Merzlyakova noted that the visitors of the coworking would be provided with everything necessary for work.

Ilsur Metshin, together with the head of the administration of the Sovetsky district Roman Fatkhutdinov and the director of the foundation, looked around the offices of the coworking, and got introduced with a design project. “It is important that a cozy and comfortable atmosphere is created here. Coworking will be a great common home for those who provide assistance to the citizens in need,”- the Mayor stressed. I. Metshin highly appreciated the design project.

According to R. Fatkhutdinov, a public organization of veterans and pensioners of the capital of Tatarstan will be located in the premises next to the charity organization, so it will be divided into three parts – the Good Kazan office, the veterans' office and area for common use.

According to the design, in addition to the conference hall and call center, administrative and workrooms, an inclusive game room, a souvenir warehouse, a baby changing table, a kitchen and a meeting room will be located in the “Good Kazan”. Interior design works are currently underway at the facility.

I. Metshin also got acquainted with the design project of the premises for the public organization of veterans. They will comprise meeting room, shelves for storing documents, a photo studio, and veterans will be able to use a conference room and a kitchen.

Along with the interior works, the landscaping of the adjacent territory is carried out according to the Our Yard program.
