Have you been invited to the Independence Day Reception? JHL offers members financial support for the costs

Trade Union JHL supports its members who have been invited to the Independence Day Reception in the Presidential Palace. Members can get financial support for the costs of formal wear, hairdresser, barber and make-up. Contact us for further instructions.

The first Independence Day Reception of the President of the Republic of Finland Alexander Stubb and his spouse Suzanne Innes-Stubb is organised on 6 December 2024. This year the theme of the reception is ‘Together’.

About 1700 guests from all over Finland have been invited to the reception in the Presidential Palace. The Office of the President of the Republic of Finland has informed that invitations have been sent in particular to people who have fostered a spirit of community and brought people from different backgrounds together.

Many of the guests have contributed to the sense of community among people in Finland through culture, literature and sports. The guest list also includes professionals of youth work and social services, for example people who work to prevent domestic violence or to support mental health.

An invitation to the Independence Day Reception is an honour. Trade Union JHL is happy and grateful for every invited member.

We want that all our members who attend the reception can fully enjoy the special day without extra stress for its costs. Therefore, we offer members who attend the reception financial support for the costs of formal wear, hairstyle and make-up.
