Groundwork Wales

Groundwork Wales helps communities across Wales create better neighbourhoods, build skills and job prospects and to live and work in a greener way.

We work 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 focus our activity on disadvantaged communities where we can make the most difference, creating programmes and projects that benefit both people and the wider environment through:

• Building skills and improving job prospects.
• Promoting healthy lifestyles.
• Motivating and developing the confidence, skills and employability of young people.
• raising awareness of energy efficiency, recycling and waste reduction and supporting the eradication of fuel poverty.
• Supporting local communities to re-design neglected open spaces.
