Empowering Citizens Through Education and Research
The Stevenson Trust for Citizenship was founded in 1921 through a bequest from Sir Daniel Macaulay Stevenson, a Glasgow-born engineer, politician, and philanthropist.
The Trust aims to provide education on civic rights and responsibilities at local, national, and international levels, encourage research into governance and political structures, and promote the idea that local and national patriotism can coexist with international cooperation.
