Groundwork Lancashire West and Wigan is the local community charity with a green heart. We help people and organisations make changes in order to create better neighbourhoods, to build skills & job prospects, and to live & work in a greener way. Now we may be able to help you.
We've been awarded a Central Gateway Grant from Lancashire County Council to provide support to community groups in the Lancashire area who are interested in developing community and environmental projects to improve their local area. This means that we can work with groups to help them play a greater role in the development of their community. By encouraging greater input from local people the result will be a more positive use of community space and greater community cohesion.
Is there a project that your group has considered, or is currently working on?
We can provide you with the support to enable you to make that project happen. This can include helping you to apply for funding, as well as providing advice on how to co-ordinate and plan projects from consultation to implementation. We can also help new or fledgling groups to establish themselves and work towards the development of their organisation.
Just what would you like to see happen in your community? Examples of environmental projects could range from community planting events to the creation of community gardens. We've supported the development of community allotments, organising tree planting days, assisted with the creation of play areas or nature and wildlife schemes. We can also provide advice on simpler projects, such as organising fun days or volunteering events.
If you think that we can help you, please contact Kathryn Boyle for a quick informal discussion and to arrange a face to face meeting:
