This Christmas, we support MIELI Mental Health Finland’s youth programs and cycled for youth sports clubs in the Kilometrikisa challenge
Traditional Christmas Donation
This Christmas, our focus is on young people. That’s why we have supported MIELI Mental Health Finland’s work for youth mental health with our traditional Christmas donation.
The donation helps prevent youth loneliness, school bullying, and social exclusion. Additionally, the support strengthens young people’s mental health skills and provides crisis counseling. MIELI’s Sekasin Chat offers hope to every young person and helps them address their mental health challenges. You can find more information about MIELI’s Christmas campaign in Finnish here.
Cycling for Youth and Sports in the Kilometrikisa Challenge
As part of our initiatives to promote well-being and community, we participated in the Kilometrikisa cycling challenge in the summer and autumn of 2024, collecting shared cycling kilometers. The results of the challenge enabled donations that enhance sports opportunities for children and young people. We donated €0.20 for every kilometer cycled.
Our employees nominated local sports clubs as candidates for the donations. After a draw, the following clubs were selected as recipients:
Espoon Jäätaiturit ry
Espoon Jäätaiturit provides figure skating opportunities for skaters of all levels, from recreational to competitive. The donation supports the club by funding purchases that benefit all its members.
Tampereen Pyrintö U19 Boys’ Basketball Team
The Tampereen Pyrintö U19 boys’ competitive team will participate in two leagues during the 2024–25 season: the National First Division and the Western Regional First Division. The team includes over 20 young players, who will travel to around 20 away games during the season in minibuses. Our donation helps cover travel expenses and supports the players in pursuing their basketball dreams.
Riihimäen Jäätaiturit ry
Riihimäen Jäätaiturit specializes in synchronized skating. Our donation supports their valuable work in promoting this beautiful and demanding sport.
Through these donations, we extend our gratitude to our customers and partners for their collaboration and wish everyone a peaceful Christmas and a successful 2025!
