WE ARE HERE TO CREATE COMMUNITY
Our Story
WE SUPPORT VULNERABLE ADULTS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND IN RETURN SUPPORT LOCAL MAKERS AND ARTISTS.
Welcome to Greenspace hub, we are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of those affected by social exclusion. Based in Plymouth, UK, the Greenhouse Community Project (GCP) is an independent Community Interest Company (CIC) that focuses on providing support and resources for individuals and families facing hardships such as homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, and domestic abuse.
Our journey started with a small café in Plymouth. It was here that we recognised the need for a more comprehensive approach to help individuals recover and reintegrate into society.
In 2014, we founded the Greenhouse community project and took the first step by establishing a series of houses for people transitioning out of rehab and recovery. By offering a safe and supportive environment, we aimed to empower individuals to regain control over their lives and share community with one another.
In 2019, we acquired a shop on Mutley Plain, which we named Greenspace. This vibrant space serves as a hub for local artists and the community, showcasing their talents and fostering a sense of belonging.
In 2024 we have obtained the upstairs of the shop and have transitioned to becoming a hub which offers the shop, local workshops, counselling and other services, We firmly believe that everyone deserves a chance to rebuild their lives and find community.
Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to break down barriers and empower individuals to overcome the challenges they face.
We are proud to be a part of the Plymouth community and strive to make a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve. Join us on this journey as we create a brighter and more inclusive future for everyone. Together, we can make a real difference and transform lives.
Welcome to Greenspace hub.

FIONA SPICER

Hey there! I'm Fiona, and I'm all about building strong communities and empowering individuals to thrive. It's something I'm truly passionate about. That's why I'm so excited to be a part of the movement to create a real community at Greenspace, and particularly on Mutley Plain!
In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to feel disconnected from one another. But I believe that when we come together as a community, amazing things can happen. Whether it's supporting local businesses, organising events, or simply lending a helping hand to our neighbours, there's something truly special about the sense of belonging that comes with being part of a thriving community.
At Greenspace, our goal is to foster this sense of community and provide a space where people can come together, share ideas, celebrating arts and supporting one another. We want to create an environment that encourages growth, collaboration, and connection. Because when we have a strong community, we can uplift each other and make a positive impact on the world around us.
And that's why Mutley Plain holds a special place in our hearts. It's a vibrant neighbourhood filled with diverse individuals who are eager to build connections and make a difference. By focusing our efforts on Mutley Plain, we hope to create a hub of activity where people can gather, engage in meaningful conversations, and support each other.
