The director presents his annual report and financial statements for the period ended 31 October 2025.

Good Growth Foundation ("GGF") is a think tank that campaigns for policies designed to boost economic growth while reducing inequality, helping to build a fairer society. GGF's work is focused on giving people a stake in growing the economy, by creating a state that enables agency and opportunity.

GGF pursues this through original policy research across many areas of economic and social policy. This is combined with a public opinion research function, which conducts regular polling and focus groups, ensuring policy is developed alongside political research.

Key activities in the period

During the period, GGF published research and policy recommendations across five major reports:

Mind the Growth Gap: GGF's founding report, revealing the gap between what politicians think drives economic growth and what the public actually wants.

The Third Rail of British Politics: set out recommendations for a UK-EU reset, all of which were subsequently adopted by the UK Government.

Light at the End of the Tunnel: made the case for reopening international rail services at Ashford, which the Government subsequently committed to supporting.

Rapid Reforms: set out a package of planning reforms to unlock housebuilding and support the Government's housebuilding target.

Take Back Control: set out how skills reform and immigration policy could be brought together to reduce public hostility to immigration while strengthening the economy.

Subsequent activities and outlook

Since the period end, GGF has continued to expand its team, including he communications, policy and external affairs teams. GGF's in-house polling and focus group function gained accreditation from both the British Polling Council and the Market Research Society during this period. GGF has continued to publish policy research and campaign for reforms that give people greater agency over their life choices, and stake in the economy. The director remains committed to GGF's mission of building a fairer society through rigorous, evidence-led policy research and campaigning.
