Daisy Carter
Daisy is a systems change and participatory design practitioner with a background in anthropology and service design. She helps people, organisations, and places think, learn, and act differently to create lasting social and environmental impact.
Before joining NPC, Daisy was a Senior Service & Systems Designer at the RSA, leading programmes that combined research, design, and coalition-building to address complex challenges– from embedding social capital in policy and practice, to shaping inclusive growth strategies, to supporting community-led, nature-based play initiatives.
Previously at the Innovation Unit, Daisy led service and systems change programmes across health, care, justice, and education. Her work focused on bottom-up, community-led transformation, bringing together people with lived experience, local services, and civic leaders to reimagine how systems respond to need. As part of this, she helped scale the Living Well programme across the UK– transforming systems by placing people’s strengths and lived experience at the heart of mental health support.
She brings expertise in cross-sector collaboration, field-building, and translating evidence and lived experience into strategy, policy and funding decisions.
