What We Do

Groundwork North East works towards a vision of a society of sustainable communities which are vibrant healthy and safe, which respect the local and global environment and where individuals and enterprise prosper.

We deliver locally in communities across the North East and work on hundreds of individual projects each year. We focus our activity in disadvantaged communities where we can make the most difference.
