GREEN DOOR

Green Door is for everyone and provides accessible activities encouraging the use of our local green spaces. Our aim is to help reduce loneliness and isolation in our communities. We offer accessible and adapted cycling for 11 months of the year with seasonal canoeing/kayaking and archery. We also deliver monthly history walks and talks. Green Door is volunteer-led with 2 staff in support.
