Our approach

Everything Groundwork UK does is underpinned by our values, which inform the way we work and behave.  We will be environmentally aware and focused on communities in need.  We will be collaborative, show integrity and strive for quality in everything we do.  Our decisions, actions and operations are also guided by our sustainable development policy, which sets out how we aim to contribute to creating a strong and just society living within environmental limits.

As a charity dedicated to supporting people who may be vulnerable we are committed to ensuring our operations are delivered safely and to the highest ethical standards.  We have a Groundwork-wide commitment to effective safeguarding and aim to meet best practice standards in terms of management, governance and transparent reporting.  We are committed to equality and diversity, provide an inclusive working environment and aim to ensure our decision-making is informed by the vies and feedback of those we support.

We have relationships with many different kinds of people and organisations in delivering our projects, programmes and services.  Our partner charter  sets out the standards you should expect when you work with us.  Our fees and charging policy and subcontracting policy aim to ensure that we are fair and transparent with partners who are contracted to help us deliver our programmes.

Through our programmes we often support teaching and learning.  We are committed to ensuring we and our partners deliver high quality support to learners that helps them progress as far and as fast as possible.  Our Quality Improvement Plan contains details of the steps we are taking to ensure we maximise the positive outcomes for all those people we support.
