1. Thank you for moving with us!

A big thank you to your organisation and to every mover for the massive effort this spring!

Moving HYY’s organisational premises has been a truly mammoth task, and it was a success thanks to you. So thank you for your hard work. We know that leaving your own premises involves complex emotions, and we appreciate how well you have handled the situation.

In the autumn, activities will begin at the revamped Domus Gaudium and the library building. We will be organising training on the new facilities this autumn, and we want you, as the users of these spaces, to be involved in deciding how the facilities can best serve you.

2. Please remember to report changes to your organisation’s address

Notify the Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH) and Posti of changes to your organisation’s address. There is no charge for notifying the new address. We recommend setting up a temporary address change for the summer, for example to a board member’s home, since mail cannot be retrieved from HYY’s mailboxes until the fall.

For the mailboxes provided by HYY, you can use the address Leppäsuonkatu 11, 00100 Helsinki as your organisation’s address.

3. Services Office is closed 13 June – 3 August

Services Office is located in the glass booth in the lobby of Domus Gaudium at Mechelininkatu 3, 00100 Helsinki. Access to the Services Office is through the entrance facing Leppäsuonkatu. We are back 4 August!

4. Little HYY is on a summer break 29 June–26 July

Our childcare service, Little HYY, offers temporary childcare help for HYY’s members. If you need help with child care while you attend a lecture, study by yourself, go to an appointment at the FSHS or just take a little breather, Little HYY is the right service for you!

5. Join the Helsinki Pride Parade with us on Saturday 27 June!

We will meet up in front of the Porthania building of the University of Helsinki tentatively at 11.30 am. Organisations can sign up for the meetup using a form until 23 June. You can read more about the parade on the Helsinki Pride website.

6. Would you like to showcase your activities to new students in autumn 2026?

HYY is organising or involved in the organisation of three events aimed at new students, and organisations operating under HYY are all very welcome to take part as well. You can use this form to sign up for the events of your choice all at once – and update your details later if needed.

The events:

• Check-in Event 26–27 August
• Opening Carnival 31 August
• Fresher Adventure 17 September

Registration using the form is open until 11.59 pm on 16 August. You can edit the checkpoint descriptions for the Fresher Adventure until 30 August. For the Check-in Event and the Opening Carnival, any edits made after 11.59 pm on 16 August will not be considered.

7. Facilities training for organisations and the opening of the new event space on 25 August starting at 4 pm

At the end of August, we will hold a joint training session for organisationa to discuss the use of the new facilities, the upcoming booking calendar, and accessibility in the facilities. After the training, we’ll open the new event space together!

We’ll share more details about the event in August.

8. Facilities reservations for fall 2026

We are currently creating a new reservation calendar, which is scheduled to go live in early autumn. We have often organised a separate reservation round in late spring for reservations for Alina Hall and Sivistys Sauna for the autumn, but this year there will be no separate reservation round. You can inquire about and make reservations for HYY’s event facilities after 25 August.

We will provide more information about reservations in August.

9. Try out HYY’s info bank for organisations

The info bank for organisations features a collection of guides, instructions and training material to help you with organisational activities. Among other information, the info bank includes an annual schedule for associations’ operation, basic information on good administration, instructions for individual officials and information on promoting equality in associations. You can access the data bank with the username jarjesto.info@hyy.fi and the password ‘Sitruunapuu1234’. Some material may be incomplete, and translations in particular are still missing.
