Every year Groundwork delivers hundreds of projects to improve the quality of the local environment and the lives of local people in communities across Hertfordshire, Luton, South Bedfordshire and Harlow. In 2008-2009 we completed 169 environmental regeneration projects, improving local neighbourhoods and working with over 4,000 people. All this activity requires substantial funding and would not be possible without the support of our partners and people like you. Please consider supporting our work with many of the most disadvantaged communities in Luton & South Bedfordshire and beyond.
There are a number of ways that you can support Groundwork:
A one off or a regular donation would make a big difference to our work and to peoples' lives. We have teamed up with on-line fundraising website Justgiving where you can make your donation online. It's quick, easy, free and 100% secure. It's also tax efficient and reduces admin for us! Just click on the button below to make a donation.
If you are about to run a marathon, climb a mountain or take part in another challenge, why not use the event to fundraise for Groundwork Hertfordshire. Or you might like to celebrate a special occasion such as a wedding or birthday or remember a loved one through an online fundraising page. You can easily and simply create your own fundraising page online with Justgiving, with your own personal message and they will collect all the donations to pass on to Groundwork. Just click the button below.
Your donation will be used on a variety of local projects, including community gardens in disadvantaged areas, cycle paths and environmental education in schools. To read more about future projects that we need funding for click here
Here are some examples of what your donation could achieve:
£40 could allow a Groundwork education officer to run a session with a group of school
children, teaching them about growing their own healthy vegetables
£150 could build a raised planting bed for a group of people with disabilities, giving
them access to the delights of gardening
£250 could pay for a qualified youth worker to run 4 sessions with a group of
unemployed teenagers on a local nature reserve, teaching them
practical skills they could use in the workforce
£1,000 could buy the childrens play equipment for a new play area on a deprived estate,
giving children the chance to play outside
