How to get in touch with our team
Each year we make an incredible impact on the ground.
Our local programmes and services are tailored to the needs of partners and communities in that locality. When all that local activity is added together, it becomes a major national force for change.
We work on over 95 individual projects each year – focused on disadvantaged communities. We measure our impact in various ways – for example area of land improved and amount of carbon saved – but what’s most important is how we change people’s lives. These quotes speak for themselves:
“I’m hoping to one day work in the construction industry and the qualifications and skills I achieve will help me do this. I have met new friends, feel happier and so much more confident than I did when I finished school.”
“I’ve been coming here for about seven months; I came here because a friend had said it is a good place to learn construction skills. I’ve picked it up really quickly, I like working with the tutors especially one to one. The tutors listen to what you say and ask you how you would do a task before they show you. They make me think about what I’m doing. I like all the different groups that come to Groundwork; I’ve met loads of new people and had fun when I’ve been learning.”
