Who We Are

Groundwork East Midlands helps 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.

In the East Midlands, we are a catalyst for sustainable, local change that brings environmental, social and economic benefits to communities in need. Our aim is to improve the quality of people's lives, their prospects and potential and the places where they live, work and play.

We operate six Trusts across the East Midlands region – Creswell, Ashfield and Mansfield, Derby and Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Greater Nottingham, Leicestershire and North Northamptonshire - and work on hundreds of individual projects each year. We focus our activity on disadvantaged communities where we can make most difference.
