They said "Evergreen Care Trust run a twice weekly Friendship Group at Stamford Free Church, and twice a month they have a Move It or Lose It session.
This is seated exercise for seniors and is fun for all. This exercise is beneficial not only for the body but also the mind, stimulating blood circulation and co-ordination as well as concentrating on the legs, hands, and arms.
“Many of our members have some mobility impairment and even if they don’t feel up to exercising, they always say they feel much better after the session. It really is a mood lifter” Jenny Weston, Move it or Lose it coach."

On Thursday 16th February the first Evergreen & Birch Tree Friendship Lunch was held – it was a lovely event, a great time was had by everybody and the food was delicious!
It is a unique social and friendship event in a separate reception room which enables older people to enjoy either a soup / roll or sandwich – followed by tea / cake and then cards / games or a chat. All for £5.
The young adults with Down’s Syndrome prepare the food, set up the table and serve and it provides an opportunity to build their skills and confidence as they socialise with guests.
Every third Thursday of the month 12:00pm - 2:30pm
The Friendship Group is aimed at older socially isolated people in Easton on the Hill, Stamford and surrounding villages and is held in a private room located on the site of the www.birchtreecafe.co.uk Evergreen can potentially help with transport for people to attend.
If you would like to attend or require further information contact Ed Bailey Volunteer Services Manager on 01780 765900 or volunteer@evergreencare.org.uk
