How to contact our team nationally and around the country
Our youth workers want young people to be part of things, to have stuff to do and use their boundless energy to educate those older and younger than themselves in issues affecting their neighbourhoods.
Groundwork gets young people doing interesting things that put them in direct contact with their neighbours, with local shops and businesses and sometimes the local council to make positive changes to where they live. Britain’s young people have certainly got talent – many of them make podcasts, songs or films about their neighbourhoods or take part in community clean ups. Some are so proactive that local businesses or colleges join with them to give them genuine work experience or to offer practical advice on how to be entrepreneurial. And those of our team who work with young people in schools find the appetite amongst youngsters for educating their elders in greener living is voracious.
