Who are we? About GroundworkEstablished in 1991, Groundwork North Wales works to transform lives in disadvantaged communities through a diverse range of programmes across North Wales under the themes of People, Places, and Planet.Our main impact goals are to bring improved prospects and wellbeing for people, enhance and protect green and blue spaces for people and nature, preserve heritage and build a sense of community and place, and protect the planet against the negative impacts of unsustainable behaviours and climate change.Through our ‘People’ focused projects we support people to get back into work and gain skills and qualifications through training and employability programmes, including a full suite of accredited training courses and Adult Community Learning opportunities.
