Stef from our Home Support Team was recently presented flowers and a heart felt thank you for going above and beyond in her work. Here is what Home Support Manager, Beth Ward has to say:

"Stef went above and beyond for our member ensuring she had extra support in place, going back to check on a voluntary basis and communicating effectively with family to ensure peace of mind. She didn’t rest until she was sure her member was safe within her home. The Family had a beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered to our office to show their appreciation. Thank you Stef for having such a caring heart and going that extra mile"

It's moments like these that make all at Evergreen so proud of our wonderful staff and all that they do to make sure older members of are community are listened to, cared for and protected no matter what.

After months of crafting, drawing, collaging and poetry‑making, our Friends Together Group are finally ready for the big moment — the launch of our Stroll Down Memory Lane exhibition!

This project has been all about encouraging older members of our community to rediscover new and forgotten creative skills, while placing their voices right back at the heart of Stamford.

Our displays will be up Wednesday 2pm – Sunday 4pm, and we’d love you to join us tomorrow from 2–4pm for an afternoon of cake, cheer and the official opening.

At Evergreen, we’re proud to work alongside Second Helpings - Stamford to deliver free meals to older residents across Stamford and Ryhall. This support is offered to those who are housebound or feeling isolated, bringing fresh food and a friendly check‑in straight to their doorstep.

Teamwork like this helps transform lives 👏

Food has always been about more than eating. It’s about people, connection, and community.

That’s why we’re proud to work with organisations like Evergreen Care Trust, Inspire+ and Mindspace to support people beyond our doors.

From home meal deliveries and children’s holiday food programmes to cooking courses that bring people together, we’re passionate about making a difference where we can.

Because food is just the start.

As we wrap up Volunteers’ Week, we want to say the biggest thank‑you to all of our Evergreen volunteers!

As Ed shared at our Celebration BBQ, “volunteers are ordinary people who do extraordinary things.” And it’s true — every year we see the dedication, joy and connection our volunteers bring to older people across our community. Their time, kindness and perseverance keep Evergreen thriving, and we couldn’t be prouder of everything they do.

💚 If you’re looking to do something extraordinary, we’d love you to join our Evergreen family.

We have a wide range of volunteer roles — from befriending, meal delivery, events, gardening, cleaning support, admin and office roles and so much more.

Help be part of something extraordinary — and help us continue building a community where older people feel connected, valued and never alone.
