About NSCU

Established in 2021 by Miriam Cates MP and Danny Kruger MP, the New Social Covenant Unit (the NSCU) exists to share an old-new set of ideas and help British politics pivot towards the great opportunities of the new era we are in. We believe that the primary purpose of public policy should be to strengthen families, communities, and the nation: the associations that make individuals happy, safe and free. We exist to promote ideas and policy suggestions from a range of individuals and organisations who, like us, want to create a more local, more connected, more sustainable life for all.
