Groundwork Yorkshire has been funded by Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner to deliver an innovative combined programme of public realm improvement and green skills training for young people aged 16 plus and adults in Goole. Participants will work in parks and green spaces in Old Goole or Goole with qualified horticulture tutors to improve green areas, providing safer spaces and reducing the perception of crime. The programme is free to all participants. You will gain life skills, improve your confidence and achieve a nationally recognised NOCN Horticultural level 1 qualification as well as having a significant impact on the community. Groundwork will cover public transport costs to site (in East Riding)and will provide each participant with lunch whilst on site. Each programme will last six weeks and will take place on one day per week. Each working day will be 9am – 3pm with 30 minutes for lunch. We will provide appropriate PPE. Numbers are limited to 15 per course. The next courses will be based in sites around Goole and Old Goole. The first course was successfully completed in 2023, the next ones will begin in April 2024 and June 2024.
