About Us

People need each other.
Whether we are children or adults, we all need close relationships in our lives. Without them, we are missing something essential: a sense of belonging, which is  something more people are lacking. Our social needs are fundamental to our wellbeing, and it has extensive human and social consequences when a person is socially isolated.

At The Mary Foundation, we work to ensure that no one is left alone. That was the reason we started the foundation in 2007, and it is still the same purpose that drives us today.

But one thing is what we work for, another is how we do it.

Our approach is that we are more successful in driving change when we do it together. That is why we work by bringing together the right people to form new partnerships. We connect experts, professionals, financial partners, organizations, and the people our efforts are aimed at.

Together, we can create preventive and supportive initiatives that can change structures and have a life-changing impact. Together, we can develop new knowledge that creates insight and understanding. And together, we can use our voices to highlight challenges and point to new opportunities.

Our efforts are considered successful when we establish a new culture that prevents bullying in schools, after school clubs, and day care centres. And when we adress the taboo on domestic violence and help families who would previously go unnoticed.  And when we find new ways to combat loneliness and strengthen meaningful communities.

We are proud of the changes we have made in meaningful collaborations. Because it is only by standing together that we can truly make a difference — just like everything else in life.
