In the next few minutes I would like to explain the work of the Trust and how we may be able to help you with developing and designing and managing any projects that you would like to undertake. Welcome to Groundwork Kent & Medway Groundwork has been working in North Kent since 1990 and extended its area of operation to the whole of Kent in 2007 when the two existing trusts (Groundwork Kent Thames-side and Groundwork Medway Swale) merged to become Groundwork Kent & Medway. Whilst we will continue to focus on the Thames Gateway we will be increasing the amount of work we do throughout the county and, through our trading company, even further afield. Groundwork Kent & Medway is a local charity which works in partnership to bring about environmental, economic and community regeneration to address local needs, to help create a place where we want to work, live and stay. From small community projects to major regeneration programmes, Groundwork Kent & Medway uses the environment as a means of engaging and motivating local people to improve their quality of life. Long term knowledge of the area, coupled with professionally skilled, enthusiastic and committed staff ensure effective delivery of sustainable high quality projects. Groundwork recognises that people, places and prosperity are inextricably linked. It aims to develop and deliver programmes, creating opportunities for people to take local action, creating better, safer and healthier neighbourhoods and helping businesses and individuals fulfil their potential. Groundwork believes that the heart of a sustainable community is the active participation and involvement of all those who live and work in that neighbourhood. Each year we deliver a programme of improvements worth £2 million, with our projects ranging in value from £500 to £3,000,000. We have included lots of information about projects and how we work in this website and hope you will browse though it from time to time and find it useful. You will also find links to other parts of the national Federation of Groundwork Trusts. If you have ideas that you would like to discuss please get in touch with us.
Out of this 3 “committees” of local people are taking forward projects – “Snow Patrol” “Jubiliee Celebrations” and “Christmas at Meadowside”
