Groundwork has been offering its services in Cumbria for two years now, working alongside local communities, public bodies, private companies and other voluntary sector organisations to support communities in need. In October 2010 Cumbria officially became part the Groundwork North East operational area. Working county-wide, our approach is one of meeting local need and filling recognised gaps in provision and we will continue to develop by offering a focused and value-for-money range of services to our communities
We have 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. Creating those sustainable communities means developing initiatives which cut across economic, environmental and social issues. To achieve our vision we work together with passionate individuals, communities, voluntary sector partners, proactive public services and innovative parts of the private sector to deliver an incredibly diverse range of projects that benefit People; by creating opportunities for people to learn new skills and become more active citizens. Places; delivering environmental improvements that create cleaner, safer, greener neighbourhoods and Prosperity, we help businesses and individuals to fulfill their potential.
