• drop in for support with energy use, money, digital, jobs, skills and training, and

Using the space
The Green Community Home is a shared community space designed for the whole community to enjoy.
Get involved
As the programme grows, we aim to support residents to:
• run their own activities
• bring people together around shared interests
• use the space for community led ideas.
If you have an idea for a formal training session or workshop or would like to explore using the space, get in touch to start the conversation.
Keep checking back; the programme is evolving and growing over time.
New activities are added regularly, so we encourage you to check back often or speak to a member of the team.
Partner involvement
We work with local and specialist partners to:
• deliver support services
• share expertise
• expand what’s available at the home.
