Social holiday programmes

Holiday programme organisations organise social holiday programmes, which are also suitable for people with respiratory diseases.

People with respiratory diseases can access social holiday programmes through the following organisations: Maaseudun Terveys- ja Lomahuolto MLTH, Solaris-lomat, and Hyvinvointilomat. Social holiday programme activities are organised with targeted funding from STEA.

Applicants can be granted access to social holiday programmes for financial, health, and social reasons. Applicants cannot access holiday programmes more often than every two years. The holiday programmes usually last five days.

The amount payable by each participant is usually 20–28 euros per day. Participants pay for their own travel expenses.

Contact the holiday programme organisations to get more information and submit an application. All decisions are made by the holiday programme organisers.
