About

Founded in 1975, Vantaan A-kilta is a non-profit association based in Vantaa, Finland working on addiction, justice & legal aid, community development.

Vantaan A-kilta is a registered, non-denominational, non-profit association founded in 1975 in Vantaa, Finland.

Participation is free, open to all adults and does not require abstinence or a referral.
