Groundwork takes practical action to create a fair and green future in which people, places, and nature thrive.

We support local communities and businesses to build capacity and resilience as this is vital if we are to tackle hardship, achieve a just transition to net-zero and help nature recover in a way that reduces inequality and leads to better work and healthier, happier lives.


We’re here to help! Groundwork East is working across the East of England to create stronger, healthier communities, responsible business and greater prospects for local people. Whether you’re taking action yourself, or for your business, school or organisation, we can support you.
