The Bevan Foundation’s annual review for 2016/17 highlights how we helped to improve people’s lives.
Our four key areas of work were:
- a blueprint for reducing poverty

- practical ways to boost pay
- an agenda for Wales after Brexit
- making the most of growth sectors
We’ve managed to reach a huge number of people:
- 65,000 website hits
- 7,000 Twitter followers
- 1,600 Facebook likes
Many of our recommendations are now being put into practice:
- we’ve increased public understanding through media coverage and briefings
- we’ve strengthened democracy by providing independent evidence
- we’ve influenced a wide range of other organisations’ policies and practices
- we’ve shaped Welsh Government policies on taxation, economic policy, pay and the south Wales valleys.
We did this on a budget of just £153,000 a year, all of it generated from donations and grants or commissions from other bodies.
We could do much, much more with your help – find out how you can support us.
