Louise began her career as a nurse, specialising in gerontology and geriatrics while working in Australia. After moving to Britain, she continued her work in both the private sector and the NHS in Scotland before settling in Lincolnshire with her twin daughters. There, she studied Health and Social Care with the Open University and later joined the Social Services Older People’s Team. In May 2005, driven by a deep commitment to dignity and compassionate care, Louise partnered with a group of Churches Together volunteers to establish the Evergreen Care Trust — creating the services she knew the local community urgently needed but did not yet have.

Juliet joined Evergreen Care Trust as our Social Engagement Lead in November 2025, although she has been a member of the team since April, as a home support worker. She joined Evergreen after working in the education sector for nearly thirty years, starting out as a teaching assistant and then as a primary school teacher. She loves nothing more than organising activities, days out, quizzes and crafting.  When not working, Juliet spends her time gardening, at her allotment or precious family time with her husband and two Labradors. Juliet has lived in Stamford all her life and is proud to be part of the Evergreen family, serving the community she loves, not only through work but volunteering for local charities. 

After a 30‑year career in media with Emap and a decade as a self‑employed Management Consultant, Ian retired to Stamford in 2023 and became Friends Lead in 2025. Evergreen relies on the generosity of around 100 Friends who give regularly, enabling us to offer vital services that are free‑of‑charge but not free‑of‑cost. Ian’s role is to ensure every contribution is warmly appreciated and to keep our Friends connected to the impact they make — from advocacy and social interaction to meals, transport, DIY, cleaning and decluttering. Before moving to Stamford, Ian served as a Charity Trustee and School Governor, and he continues to enjoy travelling, tennis, theatre, and raising Guide Dog puppies.
