How to contact our team nationally and around the country
Groundwork is the community charity with a green heart. We want places to look better, streets to be safer and outside areas to be green and beautiful. We want people of all ages to be able to do stuff together to make the best of where they live. We want to improve job prospects by offering training and employment opportunities. We want to show people how they can make their homes and workplaces better for the environment and cheaper to run. For thirty years now, Groundwork has been helping people to gain confidence and skills to get involved in what's going on around them, to ensure they have a say in decisions made by the local council, the housing association, the business community or even the government. More often than not, our work revolves around the creation or improvement of a local patch of land; turning it into a garden, allotment, park or play area that benefits everyone living nearby.
We operate across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and work on thousands of individual projects each year. We focus our activity on disadvantaged communities where we can make most difference.
