Groundwork Selby

Welcome to Groundwork Selby

Groundwork Selby is an environmental charity that was established at the beginning of 2002. We aim to be a leading organisation in improving the overall quality of life within the Selby District. We work with local people and in partnership with other organisations to bring about sustainable environmental benefits and contribute to the social and economic regeneration of the area. Since its creation, the Trust has delivered projects to the value of £2.5 million.

We have representatives from the voluntary, public and private sectors on our board. We receive core funding from the Department for Communities and Local Government, Selby District Council, North Yorkshire County Council, and Selby Town Council.

Last year in the Selby District we:

• Delivered 52 projects
• Worked with 12 schools
• Involved volunteers for a total of 474 person days
• Improved 50,000 m² land
• Planted 3,000 trees

We also launched Groundwork Environmental Developments North Yorkshire, a team dedicated to delivering environmental improvement projects, landscaping and grounds maintenance services across the District whilst providing training, work experience and employment opportunities in the area.
