A Manifesto for Rural Communities - Inspiring Community Innovation

Carnegie UK Trust has long championed the work of rural communities across the UK and Ireland. Our report, A Charter for Rural Communities was published in June 2007. This new publication, A Manifesto for Rural Communities, builds upon the vision provided in the Charter but acknowledges the accelerating pace of economic and social change. Here we set out some very positive opportunities for rural communities (and indeed communities everywhere) to survive and thrive during what are proving to be turbulent times.

by Professor Gary Craig

This report explores how civil society associations (CSAs) understand and operationalise the concept of social justice. In addition, it considers what distinguishes CSAs from organisations in the public and private sectors and the obstacles civil society associations encounter in operating as social justice organsations.

There is also a summary of this report available below.

In response to the economic, environmental, social and political challenges we face at the beginning of this new decade, the Carnegie UK Trust is one of ten organisations that have come together to help build momentum for positive change.
Where traditional guardians of our society and economy have let citizens down, civil society can promote an alternative vision for a more equitable and sustainable future.

The event organisers believe this is a unique moment for Scotland’s major citizen-led organisations to come together. The need to listen and act with a shared voice is now more urgent than ever. The time to act is now.

The event aims to bring together voluntary and community organisations, trade unions, co-operatives, faith groups, campaign groups, and social enterprises to build an agenda for action. It is critical that this event attracts a wide audience from civil society, so we want to hear from you!

The summit will focus on the issues of:
