How to get in touch with our team.
Through our work we improve people’s health both directly and indirectly. We run specific initiatives such as healthy eating programmes and walking schemes, but almost every Groundwork project delivers ancillary health benefits.
We’ve found that encouraging people to value, use and improve open spaces is an effective way of improving the health of communities. Through our work, people are encouraged to walk, cycle and exercise, to grow their own food and to eat in a healthy way and to interact more with their neighbours. Improving mental well-being is a major outcome of many of our youth and employment programmes.
Our connections within communities and our ability to work holistically across sectors means we’re a valued partner of the NHS in Hertfordshire, and other local health organisations.
