In Chugai Pharmaceutical's social contribution activities, we are working to contribute to the creation of a healthy society that supports each person's physical and mental health. To link those activities to the future, we are working to broaden those initiatives together with members of society through activities with a focus on five areas: medical care, welfare, an inclusive society, local communities, and next-generation development. In particular, we believe that the healthy growth of children, who are the future of our country, is linked to the healthy development of a future society. Accordingly, our company made a donation to the Nippon Foundation's "Third Place for Children" fund. Through this donation, "Apple Park," the first third place for children in Nasu-gun, Tochigi Prefecture, was newly opened.

Apple Park was opened on the grounds of the former Dodo Daycare Center, and operated by Apple Base, a general incorporated association that has established a third place for children in Nasushiobara City. The facility, which is equipped with a heated pool, a library, a learning space and other facilities, will be used as a place for elementary school children to learn and experience after school. We will continue to provide support in cooperation with the government, NPO, and local citizens so that this facility will become a hub for people in the community and a place where children in the community can live their lives in good physical and mental health.
