He has made substantial contributions to civil society, most notably by serving as director of the development organisation Community HEART (Health, Education and Reconstruction Training) in London between 1994 and 2002, and now as honorary president.

    Goldberg established the Denis Goldberg Legacy Foundation Trust in 2016.
