Putting social justice at the heart of British politics
About us
The Centre for Social Justice is an independent think tank which seeks to put social justice at the heart of British society, and to build an alliance of poverty-fighting organisations to see a reversal of social breakdown in Britain. We conduct policy research that combines data, anecdotal evidence and polling. Through this we seek to gain an accurate picture of poverty in Britain, its causes and consequences, and to define the role of the state, voluntary and private sectors in its reduction. All our policy research is published on our website free of charge: www.centreforsocialjustice.org.uk In addition, the CSJ highlights the work of profoundly differing and unique small voluntary organisations and charities in the prevention and/or relief of poverty. These groups provide welfare in the most damaged parts of British society. We champion their local, voluntary and effective work through building an Alliance of poverty fighting organisations to ensure this valuable insights and experience are taken on board by policy makers. Further to this, our annual Awards programme highlights this important work and rewards cash prizes of up to £10,000 to those which are having the greatest impact in The Centre is funded entirely by private donations and grants from charitable trusts with opportunities for corporate sponsorship available. We do not receive funds from the government nor political parties.
