As a charity it is dedicated to transforming lives and local environments across the North East of England and Cumbria. Their work spans a wide range of services, including environmental regeneration, community development, and training programmes that help individuals gain skills for employment.

They collaborate with local authorities, businesses, and residents to improve green spaces, promote sustainable living, and create healthier, more resilient communities. Their projects include supporting young people through educational programmes, helping communities tackle climate change, and empowering disadvantaged groups to take control of their surroundings.

Groundwork NE & Cumbria is committed to fostering social inclusion, encouraging community participation, and addressing environmental challenges. Through their work, they bring people together to develop practical solutions that improve both the environment and quality of life for local residents.

A key component of their work is focused on education and training. Groundwork provides opportunities for young people and unemployed individuals to develop the skills needed for future employment. This not only benefits the individuals but also strengthens the local economy by building a more skilled workforce.

Their impact can be seen in improved public spaces, reduced social isolation, and greater environmental awareness across the region. By working closely with local communities, Groundwork NE & Cumbria creates lasting positive change that benefits both people and the planet.
