Local authorities are one of Groundwork’s most important partners. We work closely with them to help them shape their places and improve local quality of life.
Many local authorities are legal members of Groundwork Trusts, and Groundwork sit on Local Strategic Partnerships and other local structures around the UK. We have a shared understanding of the local area and local priorities, which gives us a head start in creating initiatives which will really work.
We can work with you to develop bespoke projects that deliver for local people and for your targets. Depending on the needs of your authority, we can act as a subcontractor or develop a partnership approach to delivery. Groundwork has a strong track record of developing entrepreneurial and creative solutions. Helping to meet Local Area Agreement (LAA) targets is one of the main drivers of our activity. We add value to the work of the local authorities as well as other partners and so make a real difference on the ground.
We create real change. This means carrying out work locally, regionally and nationally that:
Helps communities make their own decisions about their area
Motivates and develops our young people
Redesigns our neglected open spaces for twenty-first century use
Builds people’s skills and improves job prospects
Local are integral to the suscess of Groundwork South Essex
