nef aims to increase individual and social well-being and to enable citizens to create their own futures and collective solutions. We are underpinning these goals with our local works campaign, and new ways of measuring progress, alongside practical initiatives which reconnect people, like timebanks.

We particularly focus on participation and democracy and on innovative approaches to the relationship between the individual and the state through our people in public services programme.

democs
Democs is part card game, part policy making tool that enables small groups of people to engage with complex public policy issues
local works
To fight against the emergence of Ghost Town Britain, nef has launched local works - a campaign to support the Local Communities Sustainability Bill
new ways of measuring
nef is redefining the way we understand and measure progress: finding ways to make the invisible value of things which are essential to quality of life visible and measurable
participation and democracy
The local and national institutions of democracy are losing power. Citizens and politicians increasingly disengage from each other in what is becoming a vicious cycle
