Green Gym - Organisation

Organisation

As of 2006 the majority of Green Gym groups are run directly by BTCV, a British environmental charity (the initials stand for British Trust for Conservation Volunteers). The rest are either self-supporting or run under licence by other organisations. A Green Gym Licence Agreement provides the framework for an organisation to run a Green Gym project. BTCV provides a high level of support to help start up and run a Green Gym project to BTCV standards. Under the Licence Agreement, organisations have the right to use the Green Gym name, and receive guidance and, if necessary, training on how to run a Green Gym group. The Licence Agreement may be renewed annually by mutual agreement.
