Queen Mary Attends Lift Event with the Mary Foundation in Esbjerg

On September 30, 2025, Queen Mary of Denmark visited Esbjerg Municipality, where she attended an event at Esbjerg Gymnasium in connection with the Mary Foundation’s initiative Lift. The day began at Esbjerg Gymnasium, where The Queen, together with Mary Foundation Director Helle Østergaard, took part in conversations with students about their experiences and reflections on loneliness.

This was followed by a visit to Ungehuset, where Queen Mary of Denmark met with counselors and young people who have participated in the Lift program and gained insight into how support and community can make a difference. The visit in Esbjerg concluded at Platformen, a cultural and community center, where Queen Mary met with partners and representatives from municipalities and foundations.

The Mary Foundation’s Lift project brings together municipalities, upper secondary schools, research institutions, and existing support services to develop joint solutions tailored to the needs of young people experiencing loneliness. Lift was developed by the Mary Foundation in collaboration with municipalities, organizations, and associations, and was launched in 2023.
