What are donations enabling?
Young people
We offer young people free crisis and conversation help that can make a big difference during tough times. Any young person can book an appointment for conversation help through our website – help is available in Finnish, Swedish, and English. Through us, a young person can also have a trained volunteer companion for at least a year, often forming a lasting friendship.
Seniors
We support seniors in their daily lives by providing conversational help, and trained volunteer companions. Therapeutic discussion groups led by our professional helpers help seniors with matters weighing on their minds. Additionally, through the Aamukorva phone service, seniors receive a reliable listener and conversation partner every morning of the year.
Families
Loneliness is often hereditary. That’s why we provide support from our trained volunteer companions to families who don’t have helpers nearby. Being together can mean talking with a parent, sharing worries, doing things together, and helping around the house. We also offer free counseling support to families. Additionally, our volunteer companions provide presence, support, and practical help to families arriving at the New Children’s Hospital.
People with disabilities
HelsinkiMissio’s music school Resonaari is a unique and highly regarded pioneer both in Finland and internationally. The school enables people with developmental disabilities and other special learning needs to experience the joy of playing music, enhancing the well-being and inclusion of individuals in special groups. Through our example, we aim to influence attitudes towards diversity.
People disengaging from criminal gangs
At HelsinkiMissio’s Aggredi we aim to reduce violent behaviour among young people and adults who have committed acts of street violence while also helping to improve their wellbeing. Our goal is to reduce or eliminate violent behavior. Aggredi is a unique method developed specifically for Finnish society.
