Groundwork
Merseyside

Groundwork works with its partners to improve the quality of the local environment, the lives of local people and the success of local businesses in areas in need of investment and support. This means developing environmental projects as a way of securing lasting social, economic and environmental benefits for those who live and work in the area.

Groundwork’s purpose is to build sustainable communities in areas of need through joint environmental action. We deliver programmes of work that address three strategic priorities:

For people: creating opportunities for people to learn new skills and take local action

For places: creating better, safer and healthier neighbourhoods

For prosperity: helping businesses and individuals fulfil their potential

Merseyside is the birthplace of Groundwork. In 1981 Groundwork St Helens & Knowsley became the first Groundwork Trust - set up as an experimental project by the Countryside Commission to tackle problems of the urban fringe.

Groundwork Merseyside is a new organisation that was formed in Oct 2007 from the merger and expansion of Groundwork Wirral and Groundwork Mersey Valley.
