Groundwork UK

Groundwork supports communities in need, working with partners to help improve the quality of people’s lives, their prospects and potential and the places where they live, work and play.

Our vision is of a society of sustainable communities which are vibrant, healthy and safe, which respect the local and global environment and where individuals and enterprise prosper.

We work alongside communities, public bodies, private companies and other voluntary sector organisations to deliver projects and programmes that benefit:

people – creating opportunities for people to learn new skills and become more active citizens

places – delivering environmental improvements that create cleaner, safer, greener neighbourhoods

prosperity – helping businesses and individuals fulfil their potential.

Through our work we aim to help people make sustainable development a reality, respecting nature’s limits and supporting the concept of One Planet Living.

We deliver projects and programmes, manage contracts and deliver services that can help:

• build safer and stronger communities 
• Promote health and well-being
• support local skills and enterprise
• provide young people with something to do and somewhere to go
• reduce carbon emissions and tackle climate change

Our approach is always to work with others to add value to wider plans and strategies and our role is often to find ways of helping local people get practically involved in making decisions and managing improvements in their neighbourhood.
