Talk:Nesta (charity)

message: This page needs updating - Nesta has left the public sector and is now charity.
Let me know if anyone wants to help do a re-edit on this page based on the following info:
Nesta had its status changed from NDPB to charity on 1 April 2012. 
It means it is now overseen by the Charity Commission, has charitable objects to which it will be held to account, and has a new direction, outside the constraints of central government.
NESTA is no longer stands for the National Endowment for Science Technology and the Arts - it is now just Nesta (lower case).
It has a different logo.
Future aims are outlined in the document currently on the website ("New Nesta") but is written from internal viewpoint - so needs qualification.http://www.nesta.org.uk/home1/assets/features/bringing_great_ideas_to_life
The main areas of work are now set out by charitable objects, by Charity Commission as follows  http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/CharityFramework.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=1144091&SubsidiaryNumber=0

thread_title:  Nesta has become a charity 

message: Nesta recently launched it's new strategy and therefore needs updating ASAP.
Overview section:
*Specific text to be added - after the first mini paragraph:
Nesta’s purpose is to design, test and scale new solutions to societal problems. They act through a combination of programmes, investment, policy and research, and the formation of partnerships.
In 2021, they announced their 10-year strategy to place efforts within three core missions: A Fairer Start, A Healthy Life, A Sustainable Future.
Reason: This is their new stance since the launch of their new strategy in 2021

replies: text: Question:  Is this really notable? Are 10-year strategies of organizations typically added to their articles? If it's implemented I think I'd like to see less promotional wording, specifically eliminating "mission-driven" and adding how the goals are to be achieved.

text: This page is out of date and needs multiple updates including logo, imagery and organisational updates and changes. Could an editor assist with making these updates as they keep getting rejected? It would be good to explain language choices. I.E The reason why it's important to talk about their new strategy is because it's completely changing the direction and identity of the charity, changing the areas of innovation they're focusing on and their goals. The reason why 'mission-driven' is used is that it's integral to their new strategy, focusing on 3 long-term missions to achieve by 2030. However, the charity is at the beginning of their 10 year strategy, scoping out what needs to be done, creating theories of change and planning how to achieve goals. Therefore concrete, published examples of work achieved is not yet possible whilst work is underway. Would be really great if an editor could help to make the appropriate edits and get this page up to date, as it's currently very outdated. Hellowritingstuff123 (talk) 15:25, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
