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.

The Early Years Social Action Fund scaled social action programmes to help children achieve developmental milestones by directly supporting parents.

The Early Years Social Action Fund was a partnership between Nesta and the Office for Civil Society at DCMS, this was run alongside other grant programmes in our Government Innovation - People Power portfolio.
