A technical disturbance has downed the City of Helsinki's switchboard, causing calls to drop or not go through. We are working to resolve the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Communities and joint activities

You may be able to find fun activities and opportunities to socialise in your own area. Visit a community centre to meet with other local residents, read the daily newspaper or get digital support. 

Helsinki also has a number of organisations and associations that organise a wide range of activities and provide information, services and peer support. Please contact Senior Info for more information on the activities of organisations.
