A Manifesto for Rural Communities - Inspiring Community Innovation

Cover: 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. 

Civil society associations and the values of social justice

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.
