That’s why we’ve been working for over 30 years supporting the communities across the UK that need us most. We help people to carry out thousands of projects each year. Tackling climate change. Helping people out of fuel poverty. Bringing out the best in young people by helping them to improve their local area. Building stronger communities by improving green space. Getting people back into work by creating green jobs. By bringing people and the environment together with practical local action, we have an impact that is greater than the sum of its parts. With your help we can do even more. Get involved What we do Our experience has taught us that the most effective solutions are usually created at the local level. This means that the mix of activities we carry out will vary from place to place to meet the specific needs of that community. More often than not this activity will focus on one or more of our three main areas of work: Creating better greener places Promoting greener living and working Improving people's prospects Find out more about what we do using the links below: Improving people's prospects We help people into work through training and experience and support young people to help them to reach their potential.
