Subsidised holidays

Have you heard about subsidised holidays organised by PHT and Hyvinvointilomat, which are subsidised by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health from Veikkaus funds? For unemployed persons, the holidays are cheaper than for others. PHT organises welfare sessions for families and persons of working age at different locations all around Finland.

If you are unemployed or laid-off, you can go on these holidays at half the price for persons in work. More information on PHT’s holidays and how to apply for welfare sessions on PHT’s website.
