Today Carnegie UK aims to improve collective wellbeing by influencing public policy and practice.

Carnegie UK has been working to improve wellbeing in the UK and Ireland for over 100 years. Established in 1913 by the Scottish-American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, that mission has evolved over time to reflect changes in society and governance.

We now focus on influencing policy and practice at a systemic level, building on evidence and research to argue for change.

Values

We work in ways that reflect our organisational values, which were co-produced by the staff team and trustees:

Motivated by change

we are galvanised by wellbeing approaches that change people’s lives for the better; we commit to assessing and understanding our impact.

Challenging

we recognise that social progress requires asking hard questions of ourselves and others; we commit to using research and evidence to speak truth to power.

Collaborative

we believe in radical kindness as the connection we have to each other and to wider society; we commit to putting strong relationships at the heart of everything we do.

Kind

we are invested in the collective impact of alliances; we commit to building coalitions to tackle wellbeing injustices and change systems.
