This holiday season we are supporting the Christmas Appeal of Save the Children Finland. Christmas donations are used to prevent social exclusion of children and to help low-income families in Finland. The organisation was chosen by our employees. We also participated in the Christmas Tree Appeal, and our personnel placed presents under the Christmas tree for less fortunate children and young people.

Save the Children Finland is a national organisation founded in 1922, which promotes children’s rights to improve the lives of children in Finland and around the world. Christmas donations will help children at risk of social exclusion in Finland. Christmas donations are used, for example, to fund hobbies for children from low-income families and to provide young people with study materials to facilitate their high school and vocational studies. In addition, Save the Children offers safe online chat support for children and young people. The organization also supports families with children in difficult life situations by providing support persons, support families, and sports sponsors.

Joulupuu (Christmas Tree Appeal) is a charity campaign that collects Christmas presents for children who are within the child welfare system and in need of special support. Presents are distributed to recipients through trusted entities, such as local social services. Every child and young person has the right to receive a Christmas present.
