EA in the UK | Crowdsourcing projects / resources past and future

By Gemma 🔸 @ 2024-10-03T13:18 (+10)

Somewhat inspired by the usefulness of this post, wanted to crowdsource a list of UK specific meta-EA projects primarily focussed on beneficiaries or users in the UK. 

Projects with a global focus like 80,000 Hours, Giving What We Can, Centre for Effective Altruism and Good Governance Project wouldn't count as they are not primarily focussed on a UK based audience. 

This post is the most up to date overview prepared by EA UK.

I'll add a couple as example to kick it off.

SoGive is currently re-evaluating their strategy but initially they started out with the very ambitious goal of evaluating the impact of every UK charity -- all 200,000!!!

I personally found it very helpful when having conversations with UK folks about effective giving as people were very emotionally attached to the charities they liked so it is very useful to have comparitive high-level benchmarks for how much more effective charities can achieve.

There's been various efforts to organise people who care about EA principles to submit for consultations and/or email their MPs about policy issues

* Upcoming workshops to submit responses to a UK aid consultation
* UK Voters for Animals
