Groundwork London is a social and environmental charity mobilising community action to fight poverty, make London greener and mitigate climate change.

We believe in a fair climate transition, in social justice and in a future where no one is held back by their background and circumstances.

We support around 500 social and environmental projects a year, working closely with local authorities, housing associations and communities across the city.
