Support an end to inequality, injustice and poverty in Wales

How our supporters make a difference

• 

  Reducing poverty in Wales

  We drew up a 5-step action plan of proven ways to reduce poverty, including 50 specific new and practical recommendations to change what the Welsh Government, public bodies, businesses and charities do. All these organisations are now taking action based on our ideas.

• 

  Regenerating the south Wales Valleys

  Our calls for investment in growth hubs, a boost for the ‘everyday’ economy and better help to find work are the first significant action for the Valleys for more than a decade. They’ve received a lot of support and are to be taken forward by the Welsh Government and others.

• 

  New Taxes for a Better Wales

  Our ground-breaking proposals for new, devolved taxes to achieve positive social change, such as a tax on take-away food packaging, have been widely endorsed and are now being pursued by the Welsh Government.

• 

  Making Welfare Work for Wales

  Our innovative work identified how devolving some aspects of social security could release £1 billion to meet people’s housing needs and help protect vulnerable young adults from harm. We’re still working on persuading people.

Don't just take our word for it

• I’ve always found the Bevan Foundation a refreshing, intelligent and challenging contribution to all of our work in the Government.

  Alun Davies AM, Minister for the Welsh Language and Lifelong Learning

• The Bevan Foundation is a well respected body and does invaluable work for Wales and the people of Wales.

  Lord Nick Bourne

• If anyone remains unconvinced about the scale of the challenge ahead then they should read the Bevan Foundation’s report on the shape of Wales to come where the economy of Wales is comprehensively and brutally analysed. For many people that report will form the basis of their agenda for next May.

  Independent public affairs consultancy, Deryn

• The Bevan Foundation has long been one of my most reliable go-to sources for information and policy thinking on poverty in Wales and there is no question that we as an organisation benefit enormously from your work.
