Housing Sector

Estate community

Groundwork works with housing associations and other housing providers across the country to change places and lives for tenants. Just like you, we want to create great estates across the country where people want to live.

Groundwork can work with you to listen to your tenants and help them take local action to improve their neighbourhood. We use a range of techniques and approaches to gather and analyse information, from questionnaires and consultation events through to participatory learning, action techniques and online surveys.

We can work in partnership with you and your tenants to make the most of your outdoor spaces. That means redesigning them for residents’ needs and creating playgrounds, sports facilities, places created with young people in mind, community gardens and food production grounds.

We deliver a wide range of services in partnership with Local Authority Arms-Length Management Organisations, Housing Associations, and other Registered Social Landlords.
