Who We Are

Groundwork is a group of charities helping people and organisations make changes in order to create better neighbourhoods, to build skills and job prospects, and to live and work in a greener way.

We know that the important issues are all connected – so our work  can’t easily be placed in boxes marked 'environmental issues’, 'regeneration', 'employment' or 'health'. We create projects and services that benefit both people and the wider environment.

We operate across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and work on thousands of individual projects each year. We focus our activity on disadvantaged communities where we can make most difference.
