Our Impact

We completely understand that anyone who supports us through funding, volunteering, business partnerships, or who uses our services directly, is keen to understand the impact we have on the lives of individuals through our various programmes.

The best demonstration of this comes from our various case studies and videos.

We encourage you to hear – direct from those who’ve benefited or participated – what it is that they have taken from their involvement with the Trust.

Such is our pride in our achievements, we are always happy to let you chat in confidence with a course participant or partnership organisation, to fully understand how you too could benefit from the world of the Green Light Trust.

Community Green Care

Our Enablement Programmes are ‘invitation only’ courses that are aimed at individuals who have been engaged with Green Light Trust for a longer period, have already been on our other woodland support courses, and are ready to move on to the next stage of their progression journey. Read more
