As the days grow shorter, Gingelom is preparing for the winter period. To bring warmth and cheer during this time, the municipality is once again organizing a Christmas campaign for its over-80 residents.
In the weeks leading up to Christmas, all residents aged 80 and over will receive a visit from a municipal volunteer to present them with a small gift. This annual tradition is more than just a symbolic gesture; it's primarily a moment for personal contact: a warm chat, a listening ear, and time for each other. The municipality aims to combat loneliness among the elderly and simultaneously address their well-being and potential needs.
A short visit can make a big difference. Stopping by, having a chat, and letting someone feel seen and appreciated: that is what this annual tradition is all about.
Are you 80 years old or older? Then you can expect a visit from a volunteer in the weeks before Christmas. If you have not received a gift by 01/01/2027, you can contact Het Park van de Vriendschap at 011 49 00 88.
