The City of Tallinn plans to significantly increase support for the Food Bank (Toidupank) to ensure that food aid reaches more people in need. Currently, approximately 6,300 people receive food aid weekly in Tallinn. In September, Tallinn Food Bank (Tallinna Toidupank) opened a distribution point in Mustamäe, and next year, it plans to expand to Põhja-Tallinn to bring food distribution closer to those in need. Assistance is provided in close cooperation with local social workers, who assess individuals' need for support.

Next year, Tallinn, in collaboration with Peaasi.ee, will introduce new psychologists into the city’s school system to support youth mental health. The program will recruit individuals with a background in psychology who will undergo a year-long mentoring program. By providing students with easy access to mental health support, the initiative aims to prevent the development of mental health issues among young people.
