In 2018, while still maintaining a volunteer-led organisation, Green Door was able to employ staff for the first time. Allowing volunteers to deliver the activities without the responsibilities of managing the organisation. Canoeing and Kayaking and Archery were added as adaptable and inclusive activities,thus beginning a new and exciting chapter in our history.
Despite the difficulties associated with the Covid-19 lockdowns, Green Door has strengthened it's offer and built many successful and lasting partnerships. We pride ourselves on our ability to deliver for everyone.
Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organisation. Without their tireless, selfless, dedication and passion, we would simply not be able to support the thousands of individuals on our activities each year. Green Door is incredibly proud of them and we thank them.
Over the years we have looked to reach out to many organisations and make them aware of our work. Partnerships and sharing knowledge is vital for our awareness and visibility. You can read more about this in our Partnerships section.
And finally, our funders. Having had a longstanding and successful relationship with The National Lottery Community Fund, their grants have helped to support the growth and development of Green Door. It is through this that local organisations, like ourselves, are able to deliver life-changing opportunities, activities and services for their communities.
