Groundwork is working across the East of England to create stronger, healthier communities, responsible business and greater prospects for local people. We aim to make our services as widely available to people in the East of England as possible and our typical service-user will have experienced some disadvantage or be at risk of it. We carefully co-create our work with the communities that benefit from it in order to meet the most pressing needs. This can look like accredited training programmes for people with learning difficulties, no-cost outside play events for young people, sustainability training for local businesses - and everything in between.
We also actively support businesses with our market-leading range of sustainability consulting services - reinvesting every penny we generate straight back into the community.
Groundwork East has enjoyed continued growth since its inception in 1985, and continues to empower local communities to take charge of their lives, green spaces, and local environments. We operate a varied programme of activities with a range of outcomes. We are skilled at building community intervention in response to local needs and are a trusted and well-respected community partner.
We know we’ll only achieve our vision by working with passionate individuals & community organisations, proactive public & private sector organisations, and innovate local businesses.
Groundwork East remains rooted in the areas it serves. Each programme and service are tailored to the needs of partners and communities in their locality.
Across the region we operate as Groundwork Hertfordshire, Groundwork Luton & Bedfordshire, Groundwork Cambridgeshire & Peterborough, Groundwork Suffolk, Groundwork Essex and Groundwork Norfolk – your local teams with local knowledge.
It is only by working together, in partnership, that we will change places and lives.
