Red2Green joins launch of the Opportunities Trust
Improving the choice of support for people with disabilities or mental
health problems in Cambridgeshire was put centre stage today (10
November) at the launch of a ground-breaking new organisation.
Red2Green has joined forces with others to set up The Opportunities
Trust, the first organisation in the UK to be developed to look
specifically at the range and quality of support being provided to
adults with disabilities.

Big boost from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society
Red2Green has received a fantastic £12,000 donation from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.
Norwich and Peterborough, which opened its second branch in Cambridge earlier this year, offered
to help Red2Greenhouse improve its facilities, and the donation means we can extend the project's existing
classroom and improve storage facilities. Building work started on Monday 27 October, and is due to complete
before Christmas. Thank you N&P!
