Groundwork works with the local communities to improve the areas where people live, work and go to school. Part of this goal is helping people to live in a way which will minimise the damage they cause to their surroundings.
These pages are designed to give you help, advice and support in your wish to live in a more environmentally friendly way. Whether you are an individual wanting to 'green' your life, an owner of a local business, a pupil at a school or someone who wants to work in the environmental sector, you will find the information that you are looking for here. If you do not, please let us know so that we can improve the information that we provide.

...an individual who wants to become more environmentally friendly

...a pupil or teacher in a local school
...trying to set up my own community project
