Groundwork London

Groundwork London is a social and environmental regeneration charity. For almost 20 years we’ve been at the forefront of environmental and social regeneration in London; changing places and lives for the better, in some of the capital’s most disadvantaged neighbourhoods. In today’s challenging social and economic climate the work we do has never been more important. In everything we do, we seek to create better places, promote greener living and working, and improve people's prospects.

London is a tough place to be unemployed, especially for those without qualifications, skills or recent experience. In partnership with private and public sector employers, we deliver training and pre-employment programmes designed to increase the confidence and employability of Londoners who are facing the greatest barriers to employment. For example our programmes support young people not in education, employment or training (NEET), adults that are unemployed or economically inactive, people living with disabilities or long term health conditions, refugees, and ex-offenders.

We provide employment advice, career coaching and informal and accredited training, supporting clients to learn new skills, prepare for work, find employment and succeed in their roles.
