The UK is facing a growth crisis and with it, a crisis of opportunity. We want to change that.

The Good Growth Foundation is a think tank focused on fixing the politics and policies of economic growth, so it delivers for the people who drive it.


Our approach focuses on what matters most to the public. Through polling, focus groups and policy analysis we drive the conversation on how to deliver solutions to the UK’s decade of lost growth.

Different political parties have recognised the lack of economic growth as a pressing problem for the UK. Stagnation has caused a shortage of well-paid jobs, exacerbated the housing crisis and broken our public services. Growth can fix this, but it is only a means to an end. Without a laser focus on the ordinary people driving it - their aspirations, their needs, their futures - economic growth is simply a number on a page.

We take what the public wants to see from growth as our starting point. Our research combines opinion polling and focus groups with economic analysis to create an evidence base for policy solutions that deliver on the public’s priorities and create growth.

Our Approach

1) Grounding in the public’s priorities

We start with what people across the UK want from economic growth. Through robust polling, focus groups and detailed policy analysis, we uncover the challenges and opportunities that matter most.

2) Turning insight into action

Research alone isn't enough. We use strategic campaigns, media engagement and coalition-building to advocate for practical policies that influence government decisions and shape public debate.

3) Connecting policy to people

Whether through the press or by convening public panels and private roundtables, we connect policy to the people it’s meant to serve. We present growth solutions in ways that cut through - clear, relatable and rooted in everyday experience - making a compelling case for change.

Our People

Our team is made up of experts across policy, public affairs, communications and entrepreneurship, working together to develop campaigns that drive the political conversation towards growth that works for the public.
