Local Authorities

Local authorities are key partners for Groundwork. We work closely with Wakefield Metropolitan District Council and the Local Strategic Partnership, Wakefield Together.

We have a shared understanding of the local area and local priorities, which gives us a head start in creating initiatives which will really work on the ground.

We can work with you to develop bespoke projects that deliver for local people and for your targets.  Our projects range from relatively straightforward contract work, to entrepreneurial, experimental, risk taking projects that are innovative and creative and solve problems.

In the areas in which we work, helping to meet Local Area Agreement (LAA) targets is one of the main drivers of our activity. We want to add value to the work of the local authority and other partners and make a real impact on the ground.
