Carnegie UK wants to put wellbeing at the centre of decision-making across the UK and Ireland.

Our Communications and Advocacy programme supports the delivery of activities to help us get our message across. The programme organises our engagement with journalists, politicians and officials. Our policy team also use this programme to gather evidence and present it to policymakers. 

Project summary

Carnegie UK is a charitable foundation focussed on putting wellbeing at the heart of decision making. While we are well known for producing high quality research, we also believe we have a crucial role making the case for change.

Our Communications and Advocacy programme pushes for change by organising the delivery of:

  • Expert commentary for journalists and media. 
  • Detailed evidence for governments and politicians.
  • Events that bring people with different perspectives and expertise together.

In addition, the programme supports the delivery of quicker timescale pieces of wellbeing policy research related to issues of the day. It also helps us monitor relevant current affairs, and measure our overall impact with stakeholders. 

Every member of Carnegie UK’s team plays a role in supporting this programme.
