How to contact our team nationally and around the country
Each year we make an incredible impact on the ground across the country.
Every Groundwork Trust is rooted in the area it serves. Our local programmes and services are tailored to the needs of partners and communities in that locality. When all that local activity is added together, it becomes a major national force for change.
We work on over 6000 individual projects each year – focused on disadvantaged communities. We measure our impact in various ways – for example area of land improved and amount of carbon saved – but what’s most important is how we change people’s lives. This quote speaks for itself:
"I wanted to prove to people that just because we're teenagers doesn't mean we're a no good waste of space. We shouldn't let age become a matter of dispute when we can all work together to achieve something good for our community. "We have now helped to bring all generations together around the common cause of improving where we live and we have made things better," Jade Marsden, 16, from Rossendale.
