How to contact our team nationally and around the country
How can you set about trying to make things better where you live? Groundwork helps local people bring about positive changes on their streets. Maybe some neighbours have been making a nuisance of themselves, perhaps a series of derelict buildings have attracted vandalism or it could be that an alleyway has become a rat run for joy riders. Groundwork is expert at working with the communtiy to solve problems like these. Or it might be that people want to get to know others better and so they volunteer with Groundwork to start a gardening or a walking club, forming the personal links and friendships that make neighbourhoods stronger. Our community teams want to help neighhbours get to know each other and people to feel they can voice their concerns to those in charge of where they live.
