Groundwork UK

Our Mission

“To be a catalyst within Lincolnshire for sustainable local solutions which deliver concurrent environmental, social and economic benefits”

Groundwork Lincolnshire is an independent charitable trust seeking to address environmental, social and economic issues through a green and capacity building approach with individuals and communities (both geographical and of interest). This approach is based upon partnership working with statutory agencies, business and other voluntary /community organisations.

The Trust is part of the Groundwork Federation. This comprises around 50 local Groundwork Trusts and a national body, Groundwork UK. Each Trust is an independent charity, set up to serve local need and governed by a Board of Trustees drawn from the local community. Though all Trusts share the vision of the federation, there is much diversity in the focus of delivery and skill specialism amongst them.
