Improving life chances & wellbeing across the communities we serve
Good jobs and good lives, lived well, that’s the Groundwork way. We focus on people and how we can work with them to address the root causes of poverty and ill-health.
Over the years, we’ve supported a diverse group of people to improve their life chances and in 2023-24:
People who have gained new skills for employment:
People who are active in their neighbourhoods and communities:
-
“When more people come together with different backgrounds and skills, one plus one is greater than three” – Karen’s Story
-
“Don’t be ashamed to volunteer, it’s very relieving because of the self-worth it gives you.” – Travis’ Story
-
“I wanted to be outdoors and giving something back to my local community” – Nick’s Story
People who have an improved sense of wellbeing:
Living warm and well at home
“It’s given me back my independence“
“I don’t know what I’d have done”
“Best thing since sliced bread!”
