Carnegie UK Trust is running a series of consultation workshops in January 2007
Worshops will take place around the four jurisdictions of the UK, following the recent announcement that the UK's first Research Centre for Charitable Giving and Philanthropy is to be set up. The Research Centre is supported by a group of funders including the Office of the Third Sector, ESRC, Scottish Executive, Northern Rock Foundation and the Carnegie UK Trust.
The Centre will support high quality research aimed at developing a better understanding of charitable giving and philanthropy, and to inform policy and practice. The Centre will be established by the summer of next year . It will work closely with academics, policy makers, donors, fund raisers and others, to build a credible intelligence base for the sector and to provide R&D support, training and an extensive publications and seminar programme.
