ABOUT
The Social Guarantee makes sure everyone's basic needs are met. It shows how more and better public services can deliver life's essentials within environmental limits. Enough for all, so that everyone can have enough, now and for future generations.
What is the Social Guarantee?
EXAMPLES
The Social Guarantee is not just delivering services.
The Social Guarantee is not just delivering services. For each of life’s essentials, there has to be a different package of measures. As well as service provision by governments or NGOs, ingredients include state regulation and investment, local initiatives and individual action. Details vary widely but in each case the package complies with the same set of principles.
Examples from different countries suggest what the Social Guarantee could look like in practice.

Local Action
Across the UK there are locally led, innovative service providers stepping in to meet their communities’ needs. Here are 12 examples of local services providing adult social care, childcare, digital access, energy, housing and transport.
