Thanks to our funders and supporters, the Bevan Foundation has achieved real and lasting changes in Wales.

The Bevan Foundation has successfully achieved lasting outcomes that help to improve people’s lives, from free school meals for primary pupils to increasing the supply of homes for local people in Gwynedd to streamlining devolved grants and allowances into a Welsh Benefits system.

We achieve these significant outcomes by effectively influencing politicians and decision makers, and by reaching the public and professionals through coverage in the media. 

The impact we have achieved is shown below – click on the buttons to find out more about our media coverage and influence in the Senedd, UK Parliament and with other decision-makers.
