This association supports informal carers across Satakunta through peer groups, recreation, trips and water aerobics. Volunteer companions provide company through OmaisYstävä, and Ovet training supports people in the early stages of caring. A cultural prescription allows visits for two to participating cultural venues. The association also publishes a coping guide and sells T-shirts to support its work.
Activities are open to carers and anyone interested, without membership or a formal care support agreement. Visitors can drop into the office or book an appointment. Most events require registration. Refreshments are lactose-free, with gluten-free options on request.
