Contribution towards the eco-vision:
Groundwork organisations support communities in need, working with partners to help improve the quality of people’s lives, their prospects and potential and the places where they live, work and play. Working within the Dearne Valley community we help to bring about practical action i.e. making things happen on the ground and helping realise the Eco Vision. This is achieved through a range of schemes including Green Doctors, Green Roofs, Green Check, Bikes 4 All, Eco & Carbon Footprinting, Environmental Businesses Services and much more.
Groundwork has been delivering projects and programmes aimed at encouraging people to change their behaviour and respect the global environment for many years. In keeping with the ethos of the Dearne Valley Eco Vision Groundwork are committed to working towards a society of sustainable communities which are vibrant, healthy and safe, which respect the local and global environment and where individuals and enterprise prosper.
Working alongside the Dearne Valley’s community, public bodies, private companies and other voluntary sector organisations we are committed to delivering projects and programmes that benefit:
• People – creating opportunities for people to learn new skills and become more active citizens.
• Places – delivering environmental improvements that create cleaner, safer, greener neighbourhoods.
