About Nesta

Nesta is an innovation foundation. For us, innovation means turning bold ideas into reality and changing lives for the better. We use our expertise, skills and funding in areas where there are big challenges facing society.

Our Creative Councils programme helped local government innovators across England and Wales to develop radical new solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing their communities.
