What We Do

Groundwork West Midlands is a ‘doing’ organisation that creates real change.  

Working in partnership to enhance the lives of people living, working and learning in the West Midlands, we work alongside other organisations – ranging from the smallest community group to multinational businesses. We help others to create change through working together and solving problems.

Our projects and services benefit both people and the environment, and promote greener ways of living and working. We work towards a vision – of a society of sustainable communities which are vibrant, healthy and safe, which respect the local and global environment and where individuals and enterprise prosper.
