The City of Hamina's Vitality and Wellbeing Committee met on Thursday, September 18, 2025 at the City Museum. Before the meeting, the museum director presented the museum's operations and facilities to the committee members. The meeting discussed, among other things, the Vitality and Wellbeing Unit's second interim report for 2025. The profit units have prepared the texts of the interim report based on the results of July 2025.

The meeting also discussed the repair of the Hamina Peace Monument located at the southern end of the Town Hall. The Hamina Peace Monument has suffered damage from repeated vandalism, and various repair options have been explored to prevent further damage. The committee decided to return the matter for further preparation.

At its meeting, the committee also decided to approve updates to the criteria for granting the unemployed study voucher and the criteria for granting the Well-Being Hamina residents grants. The criteria for granting the Well-Being Hamina residents grants have been supplemented so that operators receiving grants must commit to non-discrimination and the principles of a safe space and follow operating models that promote this in their operations. The update of the grant criteria also responded to the council's initiative to link the city's organization grants to non-discrimination and the principles of a safe space.
