Groundwork Cheshire, Lancashire, Merseyside.

Groundwork Cheshire, Lancashire, Merseyside. We are a charity that is changing places and changing lives - one green step at a time.

Big global issues โ€“ the economy, the environment โ€“ have a big local impact. We work across the UK helping communities find practical solutions to the challenges they face. We provide training and create jobs, reduce energy and waste, re-connect people with nature and transform whole neighbourhoods. Step by step weโ€™ll go on changing places and changing lives until everywhere is vibrant and green, every community is strong enough to shape its own destiny and everyone can reach their potential. We change places and change lives in Wigan, the west of Lancashire and North Merseyside.

When young people come together with a shared purpose, incredible things happen.

Check out what Leigh's amazing The King's Trust Team Programme members have recently achieved! They rolled their sleeves up to help completely transform an unused communal garden at Etherstone Day Centre for older residents in .

What was once an unsafe, featureless space is now a vibrant, accessible oasis where residents can relax, socialise and grow their very own fresh fruit and vegetables and flowers. ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿฅ• ๐ŸŒธ

But this project wasn't just about plants, it was about bringing generations and the community together - creating a lasting, positive impact for local residents.

When Trinity first heard about The King's Trust Team programme, she almost talked herself out of attending. Fast forward a few months and she's become more confident, made lifelong friends, discovered a passion for helping others and is now considering university. ๐ŸŽ“๐ŸŒŸ

Her story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the opportunities that scare us most are the ones that help us grow the most.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Read Trinity's incredible journey and see how one decision changed her future.

It provides a fantastic spot to take in the views and stand right where Lindow Man was discovered. He is the most intact and famous bog body ever discovered in Britain and died around 2,000 years ago, placing him in the late Iron Age or early Roman period.๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘€
