Over the past two years Red2Green have been working hard to ensure that our services are Covid-secure in line with changing government guidelines so that we can provide support to you safely. 

Changes to services

Options are running at Harvey's Barn and at our Bottisham site. Aspirations have classes at Harvey's Barn and Granary Barn. 

The Café at our Bottisham site is closed until further notice. Plant sales are from a table near the lower gate so that the public does not come onto the site.

At Harvey's and Granary Barns only staff, those who attend our services or pre-arranged contractors are allowed in the building. We have fitted a lock so that we have to let people in.
