Our 2018 Impact Report looks at the growing story of the #CitizenShift, nodding to organisations and individuals worldwide who are recognising the capability and desire — given the right circumstances — of us all to shape the world around us for the better.

At the New Citizenship Project, our work is all about supporting this shift, which at its root is about a new idea of the role of individuals: as Citizens and active participants in society, not just Consumers of it.

The report explores our growing contribution to the movement — from our unique Collaborative Innovation projects to our bespoke Innovation Consultancy and our own Citizen Initiatives — and how you can get involved and work with us. It outlines our learnings, successes and next steps, and why we think we’re on the edge of a serious shift in society.

Here’s what others are saying about our work:

  • “The work that the New Citizenship Project undertook with our community has been instrumental in re-framing our membership proposition, recognising our members as active participants in achieving our overall vision — “to bring forward the day when no-one fears Parkinson’s.”
    Parkinson’s UK, Client, Innovation Consultancy
  • “This has been an awesome opportunity to take time to explore participation and connect with and benefit from the expertise, ideas and insights of others with common needs. Most importantly, it’s refreshing that throughout we were learning new things that had practical application and quickly changed the way I worked.”
    Nationwide, Participant, Collaborative Innovation project, The Future of the Co-operative Movement
  • “The process has helped Amnesty to change the way we work — from top down strategy to collaboratively working with members to generate ideas that are better informed and truly empowering.”
