Groundwork’s goal is of a society made up of sustainable communities that are vibrant, healthy and safe, which respect the local and global environment and where individuals and enterprise prosper. As an environmental regeneration charity, we work in partnership with public, private and voluntary organisations to improve the quality of the local environment, the lives of local people and the success of local business.

Groundwork Solent has a proven track record of developing and delivering projects for people, places and prosperity through six strategic themes:

Communities – Building stronger neighbourhoods
Land – reconnecting people with their surroundings
Employment – training for work and supporting enterprise
Education – learning, citizenship and sustainability
Business – integrating the economy and the environment
Youth – realising young people’s potential

Our Executive Director is Tim Houghton and our chairperson is Hazel Warrick. Our Board of Directors is made up of local Councillors, business people and representatives of the voluntary sectors.
