We invite everyone to join in heartfelt volunteer work – the Caring Championships kick off on April Fool's Day
The municipality of Tuusula invites residents, company and community staff, educational institutions, hobby groups and families to participate in the Caring Championship from 1 April to 31 May 2025. You can participate in one of the events in the competition programme by putting together your own team of at least three people or by registering as an event organiser. Registration for the events is now open and will continue throughout April and May, and you can register as an organiser until the end of March.
The Tuusula competition programme currently offers over 30 different and interesting ways to do volunteer work. The types of volunteer work vary from clearing brush to baking doughnuts. Organisers can arrange, for example, an outdoor event run by volunteers, a recreational activity for senior citizens or a litter collection campaign.
The programme is sure to offer something interesting for everyone, helping to create a culture of caring. In addition to the municipality, the competition is organised by the Tuusula parish, Tuusulan TaitoKädet, Sininauha and Siskot ja Simot, among others. New organisers are also welcome to join.
The Caring Championships are a new innovation that creates a local and national culture of caring and inspires people to meet and bring joy to those around them. The SM-kisat is an open team competition that aims to inspire people to volunteer their time in low-threshold activities and to work together to create well-being, community spirit and a culture of responsible caring. The competition facilitates rewarding encounters between different target groups and increases mutual understanding and compassion.
