#InThisTogether helpline
In 2020 the Roscongress Foundation became the All-Russia Peoples Fronts general partner for setting up and coordinating a nationwide helpline for elderly people and people with limited mobility who were self-isolating due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The nationwide helpline was launched in three days and was tasked with taking calls from people who were experiencing difficulties. Since it was first launched over two months ago, the helpline has been transformed into a fully-fledged information centre. The statistics are impressive:

RC-Sport is the Roscongress Foundations sporting platform.
A sporting directorate was established within the Roscongress Foundation in 2016. As a result, sporting and discussion programmes have become a permanent feature of the organizations biggest annual business events. Over time, each forum has come to adopt their own distinct and recognizable trademark events. The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, for example, has the Roscongress SPIEF Race, which is held in the heart of Russias cultural capital. The Eastern Economic Forum has the Kanō Jigorō International Judo Tournament, and the Russian Investment Forum has the Governors Cup Race, which takes place on Sochis Formula 1 track.
Over the course of four years, more than 200 events have taken place across 40 sporting disciplines. Of particular note was the sporting programme of the 19th World Festival of Youth and Students. On each day of the event, more than 10,000 people from 117 countries gathered at 16 venues within Sochis Olympic Park to take part. Another highlight was the Match of Friendship between the female national fencing teams of Russia and France, which took place at the Russian Museum of Ethnography during SPIEF 2018.
Each economic forums sporting programme invariably draws a great deal of interest among business and political leaders. As a result, the Roscongress Sport Club was established, offering a year-round programme of gala matches, training sessions, and business events in Moscow.
The Roscongress Foundations events have been attended by a host of sporting legends who between them have won more than 60 Olympic gold medals, including Alexander Karelin, Vyacheslav Fetisov, Yelena Isinbaeva, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Vladimir Kramnik, Luís Figo, Phil Esposito, and Christian Karembeu.
As sanctions have impacted Russian sport, these forums have served as effective platforms to foster international cooperation. Three members of the International Olympic Committee Executive Board and the heads of 20 international sporting bodies have taken part in the Roscongress Foundations events.
The expertise amassed during this time meant that it was a logical decision to establish RC-Sport as a subsidiary body of the Roscongress Foundation. This organization, which acts as the Foundations sporting platform, operates with the aim of further developing the field via the following:
