Groundwork Yorkshire

Groundwork Yorkshire Groundwork Yorkshire has been working for 30 years where we’re needed most – on the ground in communities, delivering hundreds of projects every year.

At Groundwork Yorkshire we are passionate about creating a future where every neighbourhood is vibrant and green and able to shape its own destiny, where every community is strong and no-one is held back by their background or circumstances. We provide training and create jobs, reduce energy and waste, re-connect people with nature and transform whole neighbourhoods. Step by step we’ll go on chang

ing places and changing lives until everywhere is vibrant and green, every community is strong enough to shape its own destiny and everyone has the opportunity to reach their potential.
