Young Foundation
"The Young Foundation brings together insights, innovation and entrepreneurship to meet social needs. We have a track record of over 50 years success with ventures such as the Open University, Which?, the School for Social Entrepreneurs and Healthline (the precursor of NHS Direct)." [1]
"We were formed in 2005 from the merger of the Institute of Community Studies and the Mutual Aid Centre, creations of Michael Young, later Lord Young of Dartington. The Young Foundation has been established to re-energise the powerful combination of research and action demonstrated by Michael Young.... Probably his greatest legacy was institution building. He initiated, and in some cases directly created, dozens of new institutions including:
- "Open University, Consumers Association, International Alert, University of the Third Age, Economic and Social Research Council, Education Extra, National Extension College, National Consumer Council, Open College of the Arts, School for Social Entrepreneurs, Grandparents Plus" [2]
