In the BB video we can hear Mary in the beginning saying to the journalist: 'Uhh it's so cold today'. And the journalist laughingly agrees.

Today has been a beautiful but very cold day. Our first day with minus degrees and snow this autumn/winter :shock:

Great to see Mary today. Always so smiling and warm.
This is the last official event for Mary before she and Frederik seems to have the next 7 days free from official events - probably on the occasion of their copper wedding.

Yes, the first few days of frost are always the worst. :snowman: Then it's nothing.
And every single year, cars skid off the roads on the first day with snow. :rolleyes:
 
CP Mary has two official events today, but both without press access. The last one with out a doubt for protect the young cancer patients for the media fuss:

In Frederik VIII's Palace, Amalienborg (the Crown Prince Couple's home).

19.00 (7.00pm)

As usaully we always get some lovely pictures published from the Mary Foundation's Christmas reception by photographer Steen Brogaard.

Here's the first picture from the reception today:
https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...=6801bf11da27099451d94d5548575f27&oe=58B509DE

"Thank you, we couldn't have done it without you"
That was the message when we this afternoon collected all our partners for this year's Christmas reception and wished a happy Christmas. In The Mary Foundation is our work based on partnerships where we bring together different cultures, skills and experience for a common goal. It is our experience that we together can do it better, and we would like to thank everyone who has helped in the struggle for unity and against bullying, loneliness and domestic violence in the past year. We look forward to continue fighting in 2017.

Yes I have always thought it was a great idea for Mary to hold a Christmas party for her patronages. A great way for all to get to know each other better and feel appreciated.
Thanks to all for posting links for this event.
 
It's a fabulous idea to host thus party. Her foundation does great work and it takes a lot if people and team work. Great way to honor the work but also just have a good time and celebrate a great year.
 
Since a considerable part of Mary Foundation is about loneliness, I think this belongs here: Kronprinsesse Mary om ensomhed: Oplevede det selv, da hun kom til Danmark | BT Danmark - www.bt.dk

Mary has spoken to Ekstra Bladet and talked about loneliness (*), including the sense of loneliness she herself sometimes felt when she first moved to DK and encountered a new language, new culture, new people.

Apart from that she says: "Loneliness is a big and often overlooked problem. We have only within recent years been aware of how longterm loneliness can affect our health both physically and mentally. We also know that most of us have difficulties speaking openly about loneliness and that it is often connected to a feeling of shame. but if we don't talk about loneliness, then there is a risk for it to become worse. It's important that we talk about loneliness and put focus on loneliness - in order to break the taboo and support the many who experience the longterm and harmful loneliness".
It's not just up to those who are lonely to deal with is, the surroundings also needs to take an active role.
"There are no easy solutions, but we can all do a little bit to reduce loneliness by meeting people with openness and positive expectations and by showing interest for those, who perhaps not least reminds us of ourselves".

(*) That topic was also on the TV2 main news today, so it may seem that it makes a difference when she opens her mouth.
 
The Mary Foundation's annual donation, on a quarter million Danish kroner, will this year help the Syrian children and refugees:

This year, they decided that it should go to the 14.5 million children, women and men who are on the run from Syria and Iraq because of the recent years of wars in the two countries. The vast majority seeking refuge in the neighboring areas. The Mary Foundation's annual donation of 250,000 Danish Kroner go in 2016 for the Danish Refugee Council's long-term efforts to support the many refugees.

Today, Crown Princess Mary participates in launching "AntiBulli" with the Mary Foundation and Mikkel Hansen.

Anti Bulli is a new project that aims to strengthen children's well-being in the Danish handball clubs. Behind the project is the Mary Foundation and MH24 - Mikkel Against Bullying Association.

Mikkel Hansen is a very high profile Danish Handball champion. He has his own association - MH24 - which has been collaberating with the Mary Foundation in this new antibullying project, Anti Bulli, which is a tool that makes it easy for handball coaches to strengthen the sense of community and prevent bullying in children's handball.

Very nice and large gallery (40 pictures):

Article: Casual style: Mary takes Silkeborg by storm
Afslappet tøjstil: Mary tager Silkeborg med storm | mja.dk

"Beautiful and relaxed. As usual - welcoming and smiling.
So simple can Crown Princess Mary be described. Saturday after noon she came to Silkeborg in connection with his involvement in anti-bullying - and she takes Silkeborg by storm. In jeans, Handball and a sports shirt she started to show handball exercises that help combat bullying in team sports."

Article:
Mary: - Håndboldspillere i Silkeborg er dygtige til anti-mobning | mja.dk

"It was one relaxed, big-smiling crown princess Mary who visited Silkeborg with Mikkel Hansen to focus on anti-bullying in handball.

Denmark's Crown Princess Mary showed to be in excellent form, and she took her time to play handball with the local boys and girls when she today visited Vestergade Hall.

It didn't took long time from her arrival to the Crown Princess jumped in her sports clothes and sneakers and left her own clothes on the floor in the hall so she could play with the local boys and girls from Silkeborg."

Thanks. :flowers:

She was well featured on the main news tonight as well.
It is estimated that one in three children who attend some sort of activity in their free-time, feel excluded.
One in eight of the fifth graders have dropped attending a sport or similar activity due to bullying.

So Mary and Mikkel Hansen (as well as others I presume) have implemented various excersizes in the warming up and general training in the various sports clubs that enhance the feeling of being part of a group and also enhance the sense of being included. In the sense that you don't exclude or bully those you know well.

ADDED: A DR1 video: http://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/video-kronprinsesse-mary-og-mikkel-hansen-paa-banen-mod-mobning

- I'm interested to see if Mary will join her husband tonight, because Silkeborg is located half an hours drive from the town of Herning.

What great coverage. Thanks for all the links.
Mary looks fantastic in jeans. Great that she continues to work in this area of anti bullying. We saw it on the soccer fields and now the handball courts.

Summary of a Q&A in Billed Bladet #15, 2017.
Where a Holger Jensen would like to know where the fonds in the Mary Foundation comes from.

Jon Bloch Skipper explains that the foundation gets most of its means from donations by large companies and foundations, among them Carlsberg and Lego.
The administrative expenses are covered by the Hempel Foundation, which also provides offices.

On top of that a number of pro-bono partners contribute with free services. - These are mainly advertising agencies and lawyers.
Smaller donations go in full into the means the foundation use for its purposes, which is fighting social isolation in it's many facets. Primarily bullying, domestic abuse and loneliness.

- The donations, rooms and free work for the foundation is as you know also tax-deductible.
 
Mary's been on the job today: Kronprinsesse Mary mødte ensomme på Nørrebro | BILLED-BLADET

She went to a place in Copenhagen where lonely people from all walks of life can dine together and as such find new friends or simply company.
There are such places in 21 towns dotted all over DK.
It's chilly these days so Mary felt sorry for the freezing flowergirl who was standing outside to present her with a bouquet. "Let's go inside, your are cold".
The project, which has considerable success (not least among people who are new to a town, like students to a university and who don't feel they fit in the normal student activities. i.e. often people who are introvert) is run by Red Cross.

The project that Mary and the Director of Mary Fonden visited is "Værket”, a joint project of the Mary Foundation and the Danish Red Cross and is a project for lonely adults, aged 30-59.

There is also a joint project with 'Ventilen' aimed at young lonely people,
which is called 'Netwerk'
