A lot of people are lonely during the holidays and that is very dear to Wendy Winter from Heemskerk. Now that her children have left home, she would like to fill the void by inviting people. This year she has developed a platform for this.
Wendy is celebrating Christmas this year with her husband and a friend, but she still misses the fun. “We have had space available since my children left home,” she says. “Then I thought, there must be others who also feel alone or have extra places left. How can we bring them together?” This is how the Stoelvrij Heemskerk platform was created. By registering on the website as a single person or as a family looking for someone, a match is made. This way no one has to celebrate Christmas alone anymore.”
