Sampo's Christmas donation to HelsinkiMissio
Sampo plc's yearly Christmas donation will be given to HelsinkiMissio's mother and father mentoring project. The project supports families with young children. The donated sum is EUR 10,000.
- We are glad that companies increasingly take part in fight against loneliness, says Olli Valtonen, Managing Director of HelsinkiMissio.
HelsinkiMissio tries to prevent the marginalisation of families with children by offering a mentor to any mother or father in need of help with their young children. The mentors are volunteers trained by the organization. Mentoring services are offered to families in Helsinki and Espoo.
- Marginalisation of children can be prevented at an early stage by supporting lonely mothers and fathers. HelsinkiMissio carries out significant work with this mentoring project, says Jarmo Salonen, Sampo's Head of Investor Relations and Group Communications.
Sampo plc has traditionally donated the money reserved for Christmas gifts to charitable organizations, in support of the work they carry out for the public good.
