17 April 2025 \u2013 As Easter approaches, the Margareta of Romania Royal Foundation is once again standing by lonely and vulnerable older persons, beneficiaries of its social programmes \u2013 The Elderly Fund, The Elderly Helpline and the Generations Centres<\/em> \u2013 offering not only care packages, but also human presence, attentive listening and encouragement, made possible with the support of volunteers, donors and sponsors. The activities are taking place in the counties of Alba, Bistri\u021ba-N\u0103s\u0103ud, Bra\u0219ov, Gala\u021bi, Maramure\u0219, Mure\u0219, Tulcea, Satu Mare, Vrancea, as well as in Bucharest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is time to open our hearts, to think of the elderly people who have been part of our personal journey and who now need our presence. Let us offer them a precious gift: a gesture of attention, a sign of appreciation, the chance for a dignified old age, messages of solidarity and hope!<\/em><\/p>\n

400 elderly people receive practical, material, or emotional support through local projects<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the localities of Baia Mare, M\u0103r\u0103\u0219e\u0219ti, Nicore\u0219ti, Reghin and Tulcea, 400 elderly people <\/strong> have recently benefited from material support and moments of social connection through the local initiatives of organisations funded by the Margareta of Romania Royal Foundation through social services grants. Seniors received food and hygiene products delivered to their homes, while those eager to socialise took part in intergenerational creative workshops dedicated to the Easter celebration, sharing stories and traditions.<\/p>\n

Volunteers have arrived at the homes of 100 elderly people in Bucharest<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elderly people in Bucharest facing severe financial hardship, constant beneficiaries of the Elderly Fund<\/em> programme, were visited by volunteers of the Margareta of Romania Royal Foundation \u2013 students and members of corporate teams \u2013 who support the cause of elderly people. Thus, 50 volunteers<\/strong> reached the homes of 100 elderly people struggling to make ends meet<\/strong>, bringing them gift packages and traditional Easter treats, offering words of encouragement and leaving behind a ray of light and hope.<\/p>\n

Charity event centered around the theatre play \u201cThe Father\u201d and<\/strong> a classical music recital for the elderly residents of the \u201cSt. Anne\u201d Residential Care Centre<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bulandra Theatre hosted a special performance of the play \u201cThe Father,\u201d<\/strong> starring maestro Victor Rebengiuc in the leading role, and the funds raised from ticket sales,<\/strong> purchased in less than 24 hours from the moment they went on sale, will be directed towards support projects dedicated to elderly people<\/strong>.

40 elderly people from Bucharest invited to a socialization meal and intergenerational creative workshops<\/strong><\/p>\n

At a festive gathering filled with holiday flavours and life stories, 30 elderly people<\/strong> who have found comfort from loneliness through the Elderly Helpline<\/strong> were invited to step out of their daily routine and feel part of a caring community. The suspended meals were donated by customers of the City Grill restaurant network through the Out for Food app, bringing holiday joy to elderly people living alone. Other elderly beneficiaries of the same program, as well as of the Elderly Fund<\/em>, together with children and elderly volunteers from the Generations Club Bucharest<\/strong>, created Easter decorations and relived the joy of Easter as in their childhood.<\/p>\n
