Groundwork Coventry was formed in 1995 as both a not-for-profit company and registered charity. The Trust is a member of the Federation of Groundwork Trusts and subscribes to Groundwork's vision of a society made up of sustainable communities which are vibrant, healthy and safe; that respect the local and global environment; and where individuals and enterprise prosper.

The Trust primarily uses the environment as a tool to build confidence and skills, and thereby create sustainable communities. To do so effectively the Trust works closely with local and regional partners and agencies to deliver its six strategic objectives:

Communities - building stronger neighbourhoods
Youth - realising young people's potential
Education - learning, citizenship and sustainability
Land - reconnecting people with their surroundings
Business - integrating the economy and the environment
Training - training for work and stimulating enterprise

Most of the Trust's funding is secured from bid preparation and requires the successful delivery of outputs and outcomes. The Trust has therefore delivered various programmes to time, budget and quality. Funding sources include Single Regeneration Budget, European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund, National Lottery, landfill tax, private sector, etc.

The Trust has developed from humble beginnings of five staff to its current size of approaching thirty. Turnover has steadily risen, as has the type of activities undertaken by the Trust. The value of Trust's programmes in 2002/2003 was around 1.4 million pounds.
