Find out what we did in 2016/17

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.
