Good evening Resident

I am writing to you, to make you aware of Op Plenty which launched in Atherstone and the surrounding villages on 1st December 2024.

The scheme was already running in Nuneaton and Bedworth, and since last year, there were 35 people visited as a result of Op Plenty.

Op Plenty involves our Safer Neighbourhood Team officers dropping by the homes of vulnerable people in our community for a cup of tea and a chat to check whether they are OK and if there’s any further support that can be provided. We understand that we are in quite a rural part of the county, and we’re aware that this can sometimes make the loneliness of older people in particular who find travelling difficult more pronounced. 

Op Plenty gives us a way of finding out where those who would appreciate us dropping by are, and a reason to check in. We will be providing the below Christmas card and looking to offer safety packs and essential supplies if needed.

If you know someone in your community, who would appreciate a visit from one of our officers for a cup of tea and a chat, fill out a form and send it to sntreachout@warwickshire.police.uk.

You can download a referral form here.

Please make sure that you have asked them for their permission first!
