The Carnegie UK Trust seeks to develop objective, evidence-based policy to improve lives.

The Trust’s work over the next five year period will be focused on a set of three themes which all have the potential to contribute in a positive way to the wellbeing of people in their communities, in the regions and in the nations of the UK and Ireland.

The three themes are:
1. Enterprise & society, led by Jim Metcalfe
2. Knowledge & culture, led by Liz Macdonald
3. People & place, led by Douglas White

In addition to this continuing work, the team are also now exploring new project ideas for 2012.  We welcome every opportunity to discuss ideas with policymakers, the public sector, voluntary organisations, business, individuals and communities. While we no longer operate an open grants process, we are open to innovative ways of working in partnership.
