Ikävoimaa-valmentajat project Project 2025 - 2027 Ongoing The project aims to strengthen participants’ personal resources, alleviate loneliness and enhance their sense of meaning and community in everyday life. Ikävoimaa-valmentajat is a joint three-year project run by Miina Sillanpään Säätiö, Y-Säätiö and Kukunori ry. It aims to promote the psychosocial wellbeing of people aged over 75 living in their own homes, alleviate feelings of loneliness, increase participation and inclusion, and improve social functioning. The project involves outreach work, collaboration with residents of Y-Säätiö’s senior housing properties in Uusimaa, and bringing group activities into older people’s everyday surroundings, close to home and within easy reach. One of Y-Säätiö’s key strategic goals is to ensure residents’ social and financial wellbeing. Through this project, we aim to strengthen older people’s sense of inclusion and security in their housing. The project adapts the supported activity-based peer support model (GFP), coordinated by Kukunori ry, for activities with older people. It also applies and develops approaches to outreach and community-based work with older people that are suited to the project’s group activities. The project is funded by STEA, the Funding Centre for Social Welfare and Health Organisations. Alongside the project, Y-Säätiö is conducting the study Meaningful Housing – Participation and Inclusion of Older People in Residential Communities.
