How we work
Today Carnegie UK aims to improve collective wellbeing by influencing public policy and practice.
We do this by conducting research, advocating for our ideas and insights and bringing people together to explore current issues that affect collective wellbeing.
Our current strategy reaffirms our role as an organisation with wellbeing at the heart of our purpose and activities. In line with the approach we have taken since 2004, we operate as a policy foundation, meaning that we use our money to fund research and practice work rather than running open grant programmes.
We have a team of staff and trustees who are responsible for our operations and governance.
In all our work, it is important to us to be:
Motivated by change
We want to change people’s lives for the better.
Challenging
Social progress requires using research and evidence to speak truth to power.
Collaborative
We will build coalitions to tackle injustice and change systems.
Kind
We will put strong relationships and kindness at the heart of everything we do.
We want to know if our work is making a difference. For us, impact assessment is a process of reflection and learning with subsequent adaptation. Our team and our trustees are committed to using this process to improve what we do and how we do it.
Our Strategy
At Carnegie UK we’re all about wellbeing. We have been ever since we were set up over 100 years ago.
Wellbeing has meant different things to different generations. Right now, the world around us is changing in ways that mean it is time to rethink how we help people to live well together.

This is what ‘wellbeing’ means to us today. It is about everyone having what they need to live well now and in the future.
Looking after the wellbeing of all citizens – our collective wellbeing – is a powerful way of creating a society where everyone can live well together.
