Nesta (charity)
Nesta (formerly NESTA, National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) is an independent charity that works to increase the innovation capacity of the UK.
The organisation acts through a combination of practical programmes, investment, policy and research, and the formation of partnerships to promote innovation across a broad range of sectors.
Nesta was originally funded by a £250 million endowment from the UK National Lottery. The endowment is now kept in trust, and Nesta uses the interest from the trust to meet its charitable objects and to fund and support its projects.
The charity is registered in England and Wales with charity no. 1144091 and in Scotland with no. SC042833
History
Old NESTA was set up in 1998 by an independent endowment in the United Kingdom established by an Act of Parliament.
On 14 October 2010 the Government announced that it would transfer old NESTA's status from an executive non-departmental public body to a new charitable body.
On April 1, 2012 the old NESTA transitioned from being an executive to a charitable body, changing its name to Nesta, and dropping the long title.

Nesta
by: Mike G[Intro]
I keep my head in the clouds, this shouldn't be allowed
It's not, but we live loud and oh so proud
PM to the AM we go, you know that
Every day is Friday, at night, we're dressed all black
The best bet would be to catch it on film and play it back
Lead role in this, if it's Thriller, I might jack
King for The Shining? Well then, I'll be Jack Nich'
Since teens I own this, it seems he won't miss
[Hook]
I live righteously and roll perfectly
Like “damn, Bob Marley would be proud of me”
I'm more than most would even ever think I'd be
I've got so much love for my family
I just wanted to be something they could stand to see
Live fast, 'cause tomorrow's not guaranteed
I live righteously and roll perfectly
And if I don't see tomorrow, smoke one for me
[Verse 1]
You keep my mana predictable, nothin' matches my mental
I'm not the one they talk about, I'll be somethin' you listen to
If I was in a group of misfits, I'd stand individual
You let no one approach you 'til you give them permission to
Too clever not to be able to weather rain or snow
If you keepin' soldiers with you, they need to be trained to go
TTG, how dare they contest we?
Throw bricks at squads and teams 'til 10:17
Anyway, come to learn that haste is the only rate you could take
To have money comin' where you bring it in with rakes
It was no mistake that I'd grow to be this irate
So you know, without debate, I'm the reason priors abdicate
Earth is never enough, the only option is to settle
So I'm on levels to provide weapons to every rebel
Show 'em they're strong enough to hold the horns of the Devil
I so thorough, I'll get you though a full day's schedule
[Hook]
[Outro]
Strive for great, and you'll achieve without doubt
No need to stress over things you could do without
Why wait when I can have it right now?
The way I talk over this track will amp my lifestyle
See, there's no goin' back, and I see that now
'Cause I don't like bein' judged, don't mean I can't stand trial
Got dreads and golds like I'm from down South
I just want you to see me now, one love...
