Notes to editors
Groundwork supports communities in need across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, working with partners to help improve the quality of people's lives, their prospects and potential and the places where they live, work and play.
Our vision is of a society of sustainable communities which are vibrant, healthy and safe, which respect the local and global environment and where individuals and enterprise prosper.
We work alongside communities, public bodies, private companies and other voluntary sector organisations to deliver projects and programmes that benefit:
- people - creating opportunities for people to learn new skills and become more active citizens
- places - delivering environmental improvements that create cleaner, safer, greener neighbourhoods
- prosperity - helping businesses and individuals fulfil their potential
