With this new money we'll be using the environment to create new jobs, offer hope to young people on the margins of society, build stronger and safer communities and make education for sustainable development a reality in our schools. Groundwork has led on a number of successful bids in the latest round of awards. Groundwork Black Country successfully bid for nearly 6 million to develop a range of waged training programmes offering new opportunities for unemployed 16 to 24 year-olds. Groundwork's Regional Office for London and the South East also hit the jackpot receiving just under 1 million to develop safe routes to school with local Groundwork Trusts across the capital. Groundwork is a leading environmental regeneration charity putting the theory behind sustainable development into practice.
Groundwork aims to bring about economic and social regeneration by improving the local environment.
Groundwork's activities reach over a third of the population and are increasingly targeted at the most deprived and disadvantaged groups within society. Groundwork is made up of a network of over 40 local Trusts based across the UK from Tyneside to South Wales, Northern Ireland to Hackney.
