“I’d like to be able to trust in the future.”
In MIELI ry’s 2025 Christmas campaign, a young person asked for something that should be part of growing up: confidence in the future. Tonto Helsinki produced the Sytytä valo films, photography and radio ads.

Created by Kaski Creative Agency, Sytytä valo addressed its appeal to adults. Too many young people face their worries alone. Donations to the Christmas appeal provided support through conversation and strengthened young people’s mental health skills.
Heini Susanne directed the films and Ville Salminen shot the photographs. Light made the idea tangible: the young person became visible. The same idea carried through film and photography. The films featured pehmoaino’s Maasta taivaaseen.

Results
MIELI ry reports in its 2025 yearbook that the Christmas appeal exceeded its target.
