The Green Care Quality Mark is a quality assurance accreditation for green care providers. A sector-wide standard to show that organisations are safe, professional and caring. 

About the Green Care Quality Mark

The Quality Mark shows that you run a safe, professional organisation and look after the people and animals in your care. You might be a care farmer, a community garden offering Social & Therapeutic Horticulture, an Animal Assisted Therapy provider or involved in any other type of land-based delivery. 

The Green Care Quality Mark helps you reach the minimum standards you need to meet as a green care provider. It also helps you to understand the requirements of commissioners, referral agencies and service users. 

A site-specific annual accreditation awarded by us, the mark is assessed by experienced green care providers and costs £100 per year.
