About Green Shelter
Green Shelter is a UK-based non-profit social organisation that fosters a harmonious relationship between people and nature. As a registered UK charity, we are dedicated to inspiring, empowering and building connections within individuals, communities, and organisations, all in the pursuit of sustainable gardening. This way we can enable the growth of their own food, protect, and enhance the natural environment, and serve as a hub to provide information and education as well as conduct research on the impact of gardening on the environment including soil conservation, water quality, biodiversity, and ecologically sustainable development.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to create a world where every individual has sufficient necessities, all communities thrive in health and safety, and the Earth’s abundance is preserved for all future generations to come.
OUR MISSION
At the heart of Green Shelter, we aim to make gardening as accessible and sustainable as possible, harnessing its potential to be an avenue for personal and community development. It begins with a seed but blossoms into a world of possibilities.
Join us in our mission to nurture nature, inspire communities, and create a greener, more sustainable future. Together, we can make a meaningful impact. Discover more about our work and get involved with Green Shelter today.
