Common Weal is a people-powered think and do tank in Scotland. We seek to promote thinking, practice and campaigning on a wide range of social, economic and cultural areas. Some of our biggest issues are social and economic equality, participative democracy, environmental sustainability, wellbeing, quality of life, peace, justice and cooperation. We are not affiliated to any political party but work in partnership with a wide range of organisations.
We are governed by a Board drawn from a diverse range of activist circles in Scotland and they oversee our work and set our agenda. We are a fast and responsive organisation which is able quickly to look at and deal with big issues as and when they arise.
