Riksula is the accessible meeting place of the City of Riihimäki's Open Wellbeing Services, whose mission statement emphasizes increasing inclusion, strengthening community, and preventive action to promote well-being and health - the R like us spirit. #RNiinKuinMe

A meeting place in Riksula, the cultural and community space Antoni's house offers conversation, meaningful activities, free, open clubs, lectures and events, as well as help and advice for different stages of life according to the monthly program, in cooperation with local organizations and associations.

Antonin talo offers its facilities to associations and organizations as well as city residents for meetings, courses, clubs and events on weekday evenings from 15pm to 22pm and on weekends from 8am to 22pm.

A people-oriented and appreciative meeting place

  • Riksula's operating concept is to be a people-oriented, equal and appreciative meeting place, where the people who participate in the activity create an activity culture that looks like city dwellers, creatively, appreciatively and creating life-enriching contents. In Riksula, the work is done in cooperation with organizations, associations, educational institutions, the Hyvinvointi area and the operators of the city of Riihimäki.

    Riksula's goal is to offer free, low-threshold recreational activities that promote well-being and health, accessible in the middle of the city, close to services.

  • You are welcome just as you are. Participation in supervised activities is voluntary and you can drop by Riksula whenever it suits you. There is always company over a cup of coffee or a game of cards. Townspeople can suggest activities they like to do at Riksula. Are you keen to lead chair exercises for seniors? Do you enjoy doing crafts and handicrafts together with others? Can you sing along to community songs? There is an opportunity to get involved in volunteer activities at Riksula.

    Volunteering does not require any special skills from you - it is enough that you have the time to give.

    We will guide and support you in all situations you encounter. In addition, you will have the support of the volunteer work coordinator Jemina Salonen. Volunteering is independent, but not lonely.

    As a volunteer, you can:

    • To meet different people and reduce loneliness
    • To decide for yourself how to use your time and in which context you work as a volunteer
    • To participate in current themed trainings related to volunteering
    • Part of a nice group of volunteers
    • To do something meaningful

    Volunteering is good: meaningful activity refreshes, challenges and motivates to learn new things. In volunteering, you can develop your own skills, increase your experience and improve your work ability. You get to know new and nice people and you get to influence and act for the common good.
