Local communities are at the centre of Groundwork's purpose. They form the driving force behind our vision - to create a society made up of sustainable communities which are vibrant, healthy and safe, which respect the local and global environment and where individuals and enterprise prosper - and they are a key partner in the majority of our projects.
An individual can be the catalyst for change in their community or an established community group can begin the process. Groundwork is interested to hear from anyone who has an idea for improving their local area.
We understand the complex challenges involved in the consultation process, and in ensuring everyone has a say. We have the contacts and the know-how to identify sources for funding and to liase with local authorities. We also have a talented team of individuals who can provide support, advice and encouragement along the way.
