On World Kindness Day (13th November), the Carnegie UK Trust published data from the first ever quantitative survey of experiences of kindness in communities and public services.
The Ipsos MORI research, which is based on a survey of over 5,000 people conducted on behalf of the Trust, is part of a new report, Quantifying kindness, public engagement and place. The report presents a reassuring picture about kindness in communities, but also reveals significant variation between the experiences in different jurisdictions and among different social groups.
In addition, Quantifying kindness includes insights into how people describe the place they live in, their sense of control over public services, and how they perceive and act upon various methods of public engagement.
They hope that readers enjoy the fascinating and at times counter-intuitive findings that are presented in this report. To let them know your thoughts and reactions to this research, please email ben@carnegieuk.org or join in the debate on Twitter @CarnegieUKTrust.
