GREEN TREE HOUSE

Local fundraising events (community involvement)Volunteers help to run a community craft tea room, which is currently closed due to the pandemic. In October 2020 we opened a community food club to help local people who were struggling for food. The food club is based in the craft tea room. We are planning to set up a veterans support group, and continue with a monthly carers group.
