Speak out and get active


Groundwork regularly work with volunteers from all areas of England, Wales and Northern Ireland to improve the local environment – including rivers, canals and towpaths.

Projects which the West London Groundwork office have recently been involved with are:

  • Working with local schools to look at heritage along the Paddington arm of the Grand Union Canal
  • Conducting weekly ‘healthy walks’ around North Kensington. Groundwork has recently received funding from Sport England to set up two additional weekly walks and train up new volunteer walk leaders
  • Setting up consultation groups (or ‘steering groups’) to discover what local people want to see changed or improved around the canals
  • Clean ups, litter picks and projects to improve access and build new walkways

Anyone wanting to get involved – either by physically helping to litter pick etc or simply giving their time and expertise in a waterway consultation group – are encouraged to contact Groundwork at info@groundwork.org.uk.
