What is Anthropy?

Anthropy aims to inspire a better Britain by fostering meaningful dialogue, encouraging collaborative ideas and creating collective action by way of both select and discreet event programming and partnerships. Anthropy is a unique 21st Century organisation based on a cross sector membership, with content and programming Partners, willing to connect and collaborate year-round to bring our community of leaders together to explore new ideas and incubate collaborations for the wider good. 

People

What is the quality of life we want in Britain for the next thirty years?

Place

What qualities of place and planet do we need to achieve that quality of life?

Prosperity

What qualities do we wish to see in a good economy and in the best of businesses and public sector organisations?

Anthropy National Gathering

The Anthropy national gathering focuses on bringing together leaders to consider the future of Britain and its place in the world.  Our unique venue, the Eden Project in Cornwall, creates a compelling backdrop for the widest range of debates, panels, discussions and workshops, covering all manner of subjects. We pride ourselves on having established the UK’s largest crowd-sourced agenda, which on average engages over 200 organisations in creating an extensive range of content. 

Make an impact.
Become an Anthropist.

Anthropy is an eco-system of members, content partners and individual ambassadors. We encourage other leaders, regardless of their roles, to adopt Anthropy thinking and participate in our annual summit and shared agenda. In such a way you too can become an Anthropist. An Anthropist is a person who shares our ambition, adopts the Anthropy Charter, and is committed to collaborating with others to apply its principles to build a positive, sustainable, equitable, and successful future. As an Anthropist, you care about Britain, its people and its place in the world.
