The Best Connection Launches National Charity Partnership With Groundwork

The Best Connection is proud to announce a new UK-wide charity partnership with Groundwork, the environmental and community charity dedicated to creating greener, safer, and stronger communities.  

Running throughout 2026, the partnership reflects The Best Connection’s ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility, community investment, and environmental improvement.  

This new collaboration brings together two organisations with a shared passion for supporting people, improving local spaces, and strengthening communities across the country.

Why We’re Partnering With Groundwork 

Groundwork delivers thousands of community-led projects each year that help people access new opportunities, improve their wellbeing, and create better places to live. The charity’s focus on environmental action, youth support and community resilience aligns closely with The Best Connection’s own commitment to people-first values, sustainability, and local impact. 

Through this national partnership, The Best Connection will help to: 

• Support youth programmes and employment initiatives 

• Strengthen community gardening and green space projects 

• Contribute to environmental improvements across UK communities 

• Increase access to volunteering opportunities for colleagues nationwide 

• Boost fundraising efforts to expand Groundwork’s essential services

How the Partnership Will Work in 2026 

Throughout 2026, colleagues, clients and partners across the UK will be encouraged to participate in a wide range of activities designed to support Groundwork’s charitable programmes, including: 

• Community gardening and environmental projects 

• Youth and employability programmes 

• Fitness and fundraising challenges 

• Local volunteering days 

• Regional competitions and branch-led events 

This approach ensures that the partnership has a presence in every region where The Best Connection operates, helping to maximise both visibility and community impact.
