Our Impact

Each year Groundwork Luton & Bedfordshire makes a substantial impact on the ground.

Our local programmes and services are tailored to the needs of partners and communities in that locality. When all that local activity is added together, it becomes a major national force for change.

We worked on 30 individual projects in 2009/10 – focussing on disadvantaged communities. We measure our impact in various ways – for example area of land improved and numbers of young people, adults and businesses we worked with – but what’s most important is how we change people’s lives.
