Name Green Leaders

Provider Groundwork

As a community charity, Groundwork's ethos is built on the knowledge that people and places go hand in hand. When there is active community involvement and social action in local places, people are more likely to form an attachment to where they live. This allows local places to thrive and young people to gain skills that will set them up for their futures.

Groundwork's Green Leaders programme is now in its second year and is being run in four areas in England – Greater Manchester, London, Northamptonshire and the West Midlands – with the latest 2021 cohort recently signing up. Given the Covid-19 restrictions, the programme is currently being run online.
