Major Initiatives

Groundwork manages and takes part in a number of major initiatives nationally and regionally. These include national grant schemes, programmes of community work funded by one of our corporate partners and complex networks of projects co-ordinated between ourselves and other partners.

Initiatives like these mean we can join up many local projects, helping to share ‘what works’ and make more of an impact on the ground. It also often means helping other organisations and learning from their successes.
