Our aim is to improve the environment and support facilities in the communities closest to our sites. In addition to our education and livelihoods programmes, we also support smaller scale projects which focus on the communities closest to our project sites. This includes improvements to community facilities such as village halls and shared outdoor space, as well as supporting local events.

Skills4Work

Skills4Work is a North Yorkshire Council programme that helps 16-18 year-olds prepare for employment by providing work experience, training and vocational qualifications.

Our funding allows the Skills4Work team to undertake projects three days a-week in the villages near the Woodsmith Mine and our intermediate shaft sites at Lockwood Beck and Ladycross Plantation, with tasks including footpath maintenance, hedge cutting, tree planting, seating and maintenance of community facilities, among others.
