Every Christmas season, Clarion Hotel® Mestari decorates its lobby with a beautiful Christmas tree. Beneath the tree, we collect gifts and donations for those in need. Would you like to help make a difference this year?
Our charity partner for 2025 is HESY ry, the Helsinki Humane Society. Founded in 1874, HESY is one of Finland’s leading animal welfare organizations. Over the years, they have rescued and rehomed tens of thousands of homeless pets. Caring for these animals comes with significant annual costs, including veterinary care and everyday essentials.
To support their work, we are collecting practical items that HESY needs daily to care for the animals in their shelters. Below are some of the items currently most needed. You can find a full list of accepted donations HERE:
