How to get in touch with our team
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 100 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:
‘A reference from Groundwork should really help me get a job in the future, but it’s hard when you have convictions. We just need someone to give us a go and this course shows that we can work as hard as anyone.’
‘The project has a clear community benefit. People feel much safer walking around the park when they can see through the wooded areas. They are more assured and have a reduced fear of crime.’
