Time to focus on wellbeing
Carnegie UK’s purpose is better wellbeing for people in the UK and Ireland. We are an independent charitable foundation established with an endowment from Andrew Carnegie over 100 years ago.
The world around us is changing in ways that mean it is time to rethink how we help people to live well together.
At Carnegie UK we’re working on research and practice to expand what we know about wellbeing. And we’re making the case to decision-makers for action to improve the quality of people’s lives now and in the future.
