We have moved

By Nuffield Foundation

The Nuffield Foundation, Nuffield Council on Bioethics, Nuffield Family Justice Observatory and Ada Lovelace Institute have moved to a new office.

We are now based at 100 St John Street, London EC1M 4EH

Our new office is a fully accessible space that will enable us to grow our capacity to convene and connect, a fundamental element of our work to advance social well-being.  

We look forward to welcoming our stakeholders to 100 St John Street once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Our new events space is larger, enabling more people to attend our events in person, once safe to do so.  

We also recognise the value of the online convening we have done during the pandemic and will continue to do this so that as many people as possible can engage with our work.  

In line with government guidance, the majority of our staff will continue to work remotely until the end of June.

We improve people’s lives by funding research that informs social policy, primarily in Education, Welfare and Justice. We also fund student programmes that give young people skills and confidence in science and research.

We offer our grant-holders the freedom to frame questions and enable new thinking. Our research must stand up to rigorous academic scrutiny, but we understand that to be successful in effecting change, it also needs to be relevant to people’s experience.
