Can I bring children with me to the event?

We want to give as many Finnish Red Cross volunteers as possible the opportunity to participate in the event and some volunteers can only join us if they bring their children along. In other words, yes, you can!

If you are planning on bringing your children to the event, please contact the event organisers as soon as possible. Our current event plans do not include a supervised play area, but we will make arrangements if there is enough demand for supervised child care during the event. Please note that if a child joins the joint lunch and dinner, the child’s guardian must cover these expenses.

Do not hesitate to contact the event organisers!

Can underage volunteers participate without a guardian?

We want to give as many Finnish Red Cross volunteers as possible the opportunity to participate in the event. Underage volunteers may attend without a guardian.

Depending on the volunteer’s age, minor special arrangements might have to made (e.g. obtaining a guardian’s permission). When you register for the event, please tell us if you are an underage volunteer planning to attend without a guardian. We will contact you to make the necessary arrangements before the event.
