The Hemsö Gift

The Hemsö Gift is our way of enriching the lives of the people who spend time in our buildings every day.

Annual gift to Hemsö’s tenants

Every year, we give our tenants the opportunity to apply for a gift for their organisation. These gifts can also be distributed in connection with inaugurations in Hemsö’s properties.
