ABOUT
About Groundwork North East & Cumbria
Groundwork was founded in the North of England. It was at a time of political, social and economic challenge. It was an experiment. To help communities cope with change. To work together. To make their lives and neighbourhoods better. That spirit of enterprise and innovation have never been more needed.
In every community – however disadvantaged – there are deep reserves of pride. People with the passion and ideas to improve their circumstances and surroundings.
Groundwork exists to harness that pride. To unlock that passion. Our services, projects and programmes change people’s lives. They can also make our communities more resilient for the future.
We are dedicated to protecting the environment and fostering a future where people and the planet can thrive together. We aim to support communities across the region to achieve their full potential through pride and place no matter the challenges they face.
As an organisation, we are proud to support so many individuals who join us through our projects, to create a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable environment.
Groundwork are an organisation that embraces transformation. We positively change places and people’s lives, in partnership where we can.
