Testimonials

“I first encountered the Green Skills Library in July 2023. Full of trepidation, I had spent months confined to an anxious and limited existence following a mental breakdown. Two years on, the experience of being part of the Green Skills Library has been transformational. I can say the Green Skills Library / Friends in Need has been an integral and vital part of my personal recovery journey, enabling me to re-enter the world and experience joy again.

The Green Skills Library is an amazing place; an oasis of inspiration where calm, creativity and kindness can be found.”
