How to get in touch with our team
Groundwork helps individuals, schools and organisations to take practical action against the effects of climate change.
Out in the community we help to change behaviours and limit personal environmental impacts, through encouraging walking and cycling, promoting local, healthy, home grown food.
Our Green Doctor service helps residents save energy and money on their fuel bills, through free advice and simple energy saving measures.
Meanwhile, our Environmental Business Services team provides training and advice to organisations on environmental business issues, including how to cut carbon to save money.
