More than 300,000 older people living in Romania’s urban areas are expected to spend Christmas alone, according to data cited by the NGO Niciodată Singur – Friends of the Elderly, which recently launched its annual holiday campaign aimed at tackling loneliness among seniors.
The initiative, titled “Be the Carol That Breaks the Silence,” is based on a national study conducted by Niciodată Singur in partnership with Kantar Romania. The research shows that three out of five elderly people in cities feel lonely, while one in seven experiences severe loneliness, a situation that becomes more acute during the holiday season.
