Meeting places for older people

Living rooms for senior citizens are relaxed meeting places for senior citizens in different parts of Tuusula. Living room activities are open, low-threshold activities that do not require advance registration. Living rooms are politically and religiously neutral.

The aim of the meeting place activities is to strengthen the participation and community spirit of elderly people in Tuusula and to reduce feelings of loneliness. The activities are carried out in cooperation with the municipality and Siskot ja Simot.

Hyvän Tuulen Tuvat are low-threshold meeting places in Tuusula, run by volunteer hosts and open to everyone. There are four Tuvat: in Hyrylä, Riihikallio, Jokela and Kellokoski. The Tuvat are run in cooperation between the Tuusula parish and the municipality. They usually offer a cup of hot or cold drink and a small snack, but above all, they offer a pleasant atmosphere and good company! The Tupas also organise various weekly activities, such as group singing, chair exercises and craft groups.

The municipality of Tuusula organises communal lunches for senior citizens. Leftovers from school lunches can also be purchased to take away. Providing meals for senior citizens helps to reduce food waste in schools and offers senior citizens an affordable, nutritious meal. Meals are served after the pupils have finished eating, if there is any food left over. A notice is posted at the main entrance of the school to indicate whether food is available for purchase. The schools that organise the meals and the times are listed on the meals for senior citizens page.
