About Finland House Society

Fin­land House Soci­ety (FHS) is a char­i­ta­ble orga­ni­za­tion formed by its mem­bers to act as an umbrella orga­ni­za­tion, and on their behalf man­age, together with other Scan­di­na­vian House Soci­eties the Scan­di­na­vian Com­mu­nity Cen­tre. The Cen­tre serves as a place where Finnish cul­ture and events can be showcased.

FHS brings together ex-patriates, descen­dants, friends and all those inter­ested to par­tic­i­pate and enjoy mod­ern and tra­di­tional Finnish favourites such as St. Urho’s day Vappu, Mid­sum­mer Fes­ti­val, Inde­pen­dence Day and Christ­mas par­ties and craft fairs. Our mem­ber­ship is diverse and reflects many aspects of Finnish life (check out our mem­ber orga­ni­za­tions page for more infor­ma­tion). All of these events and pro­grammes are made pos­si­ble by our small ‘army’ of ded­i­cated volunteers.
