Welcome to Groundwork's GIS website

Groundwork's aim is 'building sustainable communities in areas of need through joint environmental action'.

GIS plays an important role in:

• helping us to understand areas

• allowing us to combine information from partner organisations and local people

• carrying out analysis and research

• monitoring change over time and evaluating projects

Just click on one of the menu items on the left to find out more about how we use Geographic Information Systems in our work and what we can offer partners.

We are able to bring our community development approach and our environmental knowledge to GIS projects, in addition to our technical GIS skills. As well as delivering straightforward GIS contracts, we are also working to find innovative ways of using GIS in both community participation and strategic planning.

Groundwork is a federation of 50 local Trusts, supported by a Regional and National structure. We are interested in colaborations, partnerships or contracts at any of these levels.
