The 2020 Public Services Trust (2020PST) was established in 2008 to broaden the debate on the future of public services, which it achieved successfully through an intensive period of engagement, a broad research programme and several publications. The Trust has now ceased its activities and, as at 1st March 2011, transferred to the RSA’s Public Services and Communities team. Visit their site here.
