The Elder Tree We are a preventative service that has a physical presence across every neighbourhood in Plymouth.

Our purpose is to alleviate loneliness and isolation in the over 50s in Plymouth, improve their physical and mental health and wellbeing, aid their continued independent living and support them to live healthier and active lives. We support over 1650 people over the age of 50 and champion their continued independent living in their own home but we are not a provider of domiciliary or enabling support. We deliver over 90 innovative health and social engagement activities and are supported by 170 volunteers, many of whom engage with our most vulnerable, frail and socially isolated beneficiaries in their homes. We also support over 200 people who have MCI or dementia related illness.

🚨 TONIGHT IN THE EAST END! 🚨

Join us, local community members, and artist Rhys Morgan from 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM at the East End Community Centre for a Plain Speaking Tour of Intertidal (part of Tide Together).

A Plain Speaking Tour (PST) is Take A Part’s flagship gallery education model: community members take contemporary art practices and completely demystify them, delivering tours in clear, accessible, Plain English.

We’ll meet at the centre before heading out together to check out David Cotterrell’s major new public artwork, Intertidal, parked nearby. No art jargon, no pressure—just open curiosity, local voices, and honest conversation.

Intertidal is part of Sea for Yourself (led by Plymouth Culture, Plymouth City Council, and Plymouth Sound National Marine Park).

👉 Book your spot for tonight: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/plain-speaking-tour-intertidal-tickets-2001328743145?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true
