How to contact our team nationally and around the country
Groundwork can work with you to listen to your tenants and help them take local action to improve their neighbourhood.
We use a range of techniques and approaches to gather and analyse information from questionnaires and consultation events through to participatory learning and action techniques and online surveys. Innovative approaches such as youth inclusion sports events, arts programmes, intergenerational activities or community fairs can help to attract the target audience to the consultation.
What makes Groundwork’s consultation services different is our local knowledge, contacts and understanding of what works in different neighbourhoods. We seek to capture people’s interest and engage hard to reach groups on a range of initiatives from small scale environmental improvements to whole neighbourhood plans.
