BUSINESS
Groundwork & Local Business
We help local businesses put their corporate responsibility strategies into action by connecting them with communities, reducing their impact on the environment and helping them build social value into their services. With projects all over South and North Tyneside, we’re unique in that we can combine local knowledge and networks with an ability to manage relationships and capture impact on a national level. By working together we can help you engage your colleagues and customers in a way that delivers pride as well as purpose.
Creating social impact
We’ve worked in partnership with businesses in all sectors to help make a difference on the ground for over three decades. From major national partnerships to one-off employee volunteering events, we work flexibly with businesses to understand their needs and design programmes that benefit their employees and customers as well as the communities in which they operate.
