THE GOOD GROWTH FOUNDATION
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
- 1 -
The director presents his annual report and financial statements for the period ended 31 October 2025.
Principal activities
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.

The company was incorporated on 10 October 2024. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the FRS 102 reporting framework and cover the period from incorporation on 10 October 2024 to 31 October 2025.
As these are the company's first financial statements, no comparative figures are available or presented.
1.2
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
The company has taken advantage of the exemption under section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated accounts, on the basis that the group of which this is the parent qualifies as a small group. The financial statements present information about the company as an individual entity and not about its group.

Going concern
Atruet the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in surplus or deficit.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
