- Yes we are a group of about 20 pensioners who meet and cook together, go on a cruise and we get here to the Träffpunkten several times a week, says Irene Vesterberg, who started the group.

“Many people felt lonely. So then we started the facebook gang. The idea was that we would not only write on facebook but also see it. Now we cook food together, go on a cruise, have a snack and go to the pub nights, ”says Irene Vesterberg. Photo: SVT
