How to contact our team
Groundwork North East has an experienced team of highly skilled, well trained and dedicated staff to deliver quality health programmes across the region.
We work with people to help them improve where they live and their quality of life. We have meaningful involvement in the development of their area.
Our teams of specialists are experienced in getting people to speak out, taking on-board their views and translating these into positive changes.
We also develop projects that bring people together from different backgrounds and age groups – reducing conflict and boosting neighbourliness. We also help people adopt healthier lifestyles by becoming more active or being involved in food growing.
Examples of these projects include:
Location: East Durham The Creating Heath project takes derelict and unused areas and re-develops them alongside community groups to create useable growing spaces to encourage healthier diets and lifestyles through green exercise
Location: Tyne & Wear and Tees Valley Green Exercise North East (GENE) is a 27 month project that provides outdoor activities for disadvantaged communities, with officers using consultations to deliver sessions and develop programmes that are tailored to participants' needs.
