How to get in touch with our team.
Groundwork works with schools and youth organisations to deliver innovative environmental education, transform school grounds and re-engage disaffected young people into education.
Our work in schools links to the national curriculum and helps to illustrate how our individual actions can make a difference to the local and global environment. Teaching young people about their impact on the planet is the first step to changing their behaviour for the better.
We also work with schools to support ‘at risk’ young people, providing them with positive experiences and building the skills that will allow them to move forwards with education, employment or training.
