Groundwork and local environmental management partnerships
Abstract
Reports on the activities of Groundwork, a UK network of locally based trusts launched in 1981. States the organization’s strategies as contributing to sustainable improvements, through business partnership, to the local environment (by improving damaged or underused land) to social regeneration (through education and community involvement) and to economic regeneration (by improving the efficiency of local economies and businesses). Provides background details on the structure of the organization, how it implements its objectives, and how it measures its progress. Claims success through increased growth in the number of business partnerships, in both the private and public sector, and through moving from a peripheral, innovative, and experimental approach to occupying centre stage in environmental activity.
