The Central Union for the Welfare of the Aged was founded in 1949. The Union is a national umbrella organization for 350 associations working for the benefit of the aged. Our members include associations providing services and organizations offering versatile volunteer activities. The guiding principle of the Union is to promote the welfare and social security of the aged. Another important task is to support the activities of the member associations. The Central Union for the Welfare of the Aged receives substantial funding from the Finnish Slot Machine Association.
