National Strategy Project

The National Strategy Project (NSP) is an ambitious, independent, cross-sector initiative to give the UK something it has never had but urgently needs: a trusted way to understand what the country really wants for its long-term future — and a practical system to act on it. At a time of rising uncertainty, economic pressure, fractured trust and institutional fatigue, the NSP brings people together across politics, generations, sectors, regions and the whole of society to co-create a vision for the UK's future and shape the blueprint to achieve it. Co-founded by Catherine Day (former Cabinet Office, No.10, FCDO), Robyn Scott (CEO Apolitical) and Matthew Rycroft (former UK Home Office Permanent Secretary and UN Ambassador), the NSP draws on deep experience of how government succeeds, where it fails, and what is missing. This is not a party, campaign or advocacy effort. It is a non-partisan public-good initiative designed to give any government — and the whole country — the clarity, consent and capability needed to act on the long term.

Britain in the Next 50 Years: The National Dialogue

Britain has a future — but it won't be like the past. Over the next 50 years the UK faces demographic shifts, climate change, digital transformation, and deep questions about how we organise our society and economy. The choices we make now will shape the country our children and grandchildren inherit. This national dialogue invites you to share your views on the long-term choices facing the UK — from healthcare and housing to the economy, democracy, and our place in the world. There are no right answers. What matters is hearing what the British public really thinks, across every region, generation and background. This is a world-first, large-scale deliberation combining online participation, a representative "UK in One Room" event, and deep community outreach — giving the whole country a trusted, evidence-based picture of where informed public consent lies. Your voice shapes Britain's long-term future. Join the conversation.

Technology

How should the UK protect itself from growing cyber threats while maintaining a free and open digital economy?

The UK is now a digital society sitting on privately run networks and global technology stacks. Cyber crime generates estimated losses of £14.7 billion annually — and a catastrophic cascade failure is a credible risk. How far should the state push baseline standards? How do we share burdens between firms, citizens and government? And how do we build an online "security state" — not a surveillance state?

Politics

How do we rebuild trust in democracy and public institutions?

Trust in government, public institutions and democratic processes has fallen sharply. Trust is often treated as a cultural problem — but it is more often an engineering problem: reliability, responsiveness, integrity and fairness. What practical steps should the UK take to rebuild the relationship between citizens and the institutions that serve them?

Society

How do we solve the UK's housing crisis over the next 50 years?

Housing is one of the UK's most damaging self-made constraints — touching living standards, family formation, regional mobility and economic opportunity. Should the UK treat housing as infrastructure and build enough of it, or continue to protect it as a scarce financial asset? What planning reforms, land-use choices and investment are needed?

Economy

What kind of economic growth should Britain prioritise over the next 50 years?

Economic growth is often treated as the only route to sustaining a high-service society — but "growth" is not one thing. Should the UK prioritise more output, higher median living standards, lower inequality, regional balance, or resilience in an ageing society? And how should we fix the tax and benefit design that quietly punishes work, training and risk-taking?

Healthcare

How should the UK redesign health and social care for an ageing population?

The UK population is ageing fast — by 2072, roughly 27% of the population will be over 65. Rising demand for healthcare and social care is unavoidable. The question is how we redesign the system to cope: funding models, NHS reform, social care, workforce, and the role of prevention versus treatment. What should the UK prioritise?
