Customers Sandra and Dan, who is partially sighted, wanted help meeting neighbours, finding local activities like Tai Chi and walking group, as well as accessing support from local services.

We did:

• Created ways to connect: Four Greens Community Trust promoted Community Cuppa sessions, so new customers felt welcome.
• Offered tailored referrals: They were directly linked to Elder Tree (Tai Chi) and Improving Lives Plymouth (walking groups). 
• Provided accessible support: Dan was connected with Sensory Solutions for sight‑loss services.

Sandra and Dan are no longer "the new couple from Surrey" - they are active members of the New Friar Court community. By attending the monthly meetings, they have built a local support network, increased their confidence in accessing city-wide services, and are currently on the guest list for local fitness sessions.

This work is delivered through the Plymouth Ageing Well partnership, led by Four Greens Community Trust. As a founding member, we’re committed to helping residents stay connected, active and supported.

“On each occasion you have always told us that we can come and ask you about anything, and we have and you have helped us. That is really reassuring for us.” — Dan
