About the service
Our Green Skills Centre offers group training and development work to young people (ages 14-20) and other groups at risk of experiencing homelessness. We realise that many 'at risk' groups can suffer from a nature deficit and sense of disconnection which can intensify and compound the struggles people face. We aim to be a restorative and supportive influence. We deliver trauma informed and person-centered outdoor learning and wellbeing opportunities, including workshops, accredited training & client-led learning pathways such as sustainable horticulture, market gardening, woodland skills, peer-mentoring and outdoor education.
