The Green Team
Why you should vote for The Green Team for the People’s Choice Award
The Green Team runs transformational programmes of outdoor activities for children and young people - supporting them to understand, appreciate and care for the natural environment, while using nature-based activities (conservation tasks, outdoor learning, wilderness survival skills, natural arts/crafts, play, exploration and respite) to care for others and self. Our programmes focus on children and young people from backgrounds of disadvantage and support increased confidence, development of skills, reduced isolation, achievement of awards and enhanced wellbeing.
Our application celebrates the Green Team's 30th year and recognises achievements over that period (including overcoming financial adversity in 2018 to remain open). It also identifies wonderful achievements in the last year - a 21% increase in sessions relative to their previous best, record corporate volunteer hours, moving to new premises and significant carbon footprint reduction measures.
Most importantly it shows the positive impact on:
- local greenspaces: "I feel so proud. We've made a real difference in the woodland today"
- participants, parents and more widely: "I don’t think T would still be with us if it wasn’t for the Green Team"
