The Evergreen Care Trust
Because growing older should never mean growing alone
We are the evergreen care trust, a charity dedicated to supporting older people across stamford, bourne & The Deepings
Our Mission
At Evergreen Care Trust, our mission is to provide practical, social and wellbeing support for older people in our community. We’re committed to ensuring no one faces later life feeling isolated or alone, while championing healthy, connected ageing for all. Each year, we’re able to offer life‑enhancing support to more than 100 local residents — made possible through the generosity of people like you, and the dedication of our staff and volunteers.
Our Services
We offer a wide range of support — from weekly free food deliveries for those unable to leave their homes, to befriending and social groups. We also help with one‑off practical jobs like moving house, putting up shelving or supporting with household paperwork. Alongside our free services, we provide a few paid options such as regular visits from a dedicated Home Support Worker and personal alarm installation. Whatever you need, Evergreen is here for you.
join our cause
Help us continue our vital work in the community and champion healthy ageing. Whether you can give a little time or a lot, we’re always excited to welcome passionate people into the Evergreen family. You can support from afar by becoming a Friend of Evergreen with a monthly or annual donation, or get hands‑on by joining us as a volunteer.
Where it all began
Evergreen was founded in May 2005 by Louise Marsh and a team of volunteers from local churches. Louise, a Registered Nurse specialising in the care of older people, worked in Stamford’s Older Persons Team from 2002. During this time, she identified many unmet needs that neither Health nor Social Care were addressing. With her manager’s permission, she gathered volunteers to offer small but meaningful interventions — transport to appointments, minor DIY, friendship support, and help after hospital discharge for those without family support.
Today we have over 100 volunteers and support hundreds of members across the local community. We're proud to share our roots and are dedicated to growing our services to support as many people as possible.
A Listening Ear
We have the same lady that visits my mum and dad, she goes over and above what is required. She is kind, caring, thorough, listens to them, nothing is too much trouble, Dad particularly looks forward to her visit.
A Caring Service
I’m so grateful to Evergreen for their support. My carer is all things good, kind-caring, flexible and we get on very well. We are very likeminded which is a bonus. She is a blessing on my life. Having worked in the care sector I realise the real value of, and the difference a volunteer can make. Many thanks to Evergreen.
Come and say hello
At Evergreen, we host a wide range of free events across the community — from local fundraisers to weekly social sessions designed to bring people together. These gatherings offer a warm, welcoming space to connect, make friends and enjoy time with others. We’d love for you to join us at an upcoming event, meet our team and get to know the wonderful members who make Evergreen such a special place.
