A place of communication for lonely old people. 3

Social isolation, as a phenomenon, is especially characteristic of the elderly. According to research by the Cambridge Institute of Technology, social isolation and hunger leave the same neural mark in the human brain. Prolonged stay in this state leads to depression, neurotic states, further development of various diseases and general malaise. To help lonely elderly not to find themselves in social isolation, the club of active longevity "Second Youth" has been operating in Kharkiv since 2001.

Over the years, the Club has created within its walls a large and friendly "family" of single grandparents who need communication, care and daily social and psychological support. They have the opportunity to meet regularly, celebrate holidays and anniversaries together, engage in creativity, needlework, sing and actively spend their leisure time. Over the years, most of them have become family people who support each other in joy, in trouble, help to cope with illness and problems.

Unfortunately, now the Club does not have a permanent financial donor. We have to look for funds so that he can continue to work. Today we need to collect UAH 9 780 to pay the rent for the Club's premises for three months. Please support us in this! Even a small donation in the amount of a cup of coffee or cake will do a great good deed – will help the elderly not to be left alone with their loneliness and helplessness.
