For several consecutive years, we have chosen to direct the funds intended for Christmas gifts to a good cause — to support the work of SOS Children’s Village. This year, we donated €10,000 — for the fifth year in a row.
The donation is made for the benefit of children, young people, and families with children. Donations made by companies to SOS Children’s Village help enable, for example, access to counselling via a chat service for children, young people, and parents when concerns grow and the need for a safe adult becomes urgent. In addition, donations are directed to, among other things, hobby support for children and grocery gift cards for low-income families.
SOS Children’s Village published a news article about our donation — read the article here. (Only in Finnish.)
“Family entrepreneurship is our identity and our way of operating. Even though we have grown and become more international, warmth and caring have not disappeared — quite the opposite. Supporting SOS Children’s Village feels natural to us because we share the same values and want to be part of work that supports children and young people. We are proud to tell our international customers as well that we support this global community. We wish everyone warmth and caring during the Christmas season — remember to take care of your loved ones.”
