In 2025 we used our unique combination of economic expertise and social sector connection to help charities, funders, firms and policymakers collectively tackle the causes and consequences of low wellbeing. 

We supported a total of 163 charities in some form or other (contributing to a potential income boost for those charities of up to £300 million over the next three years), broke through the 1,000 mark on active economist volunteers (with benefits for both the charities helped and the volunteers stepping forward), and engaged more broadly with 174 economists from across all sectors (helping to drive the wider use of economics for good).

We achieved policy cut through in a range of areas and were pleased to co-host the Prime Minister as he launched the Civil Society Covenant inspired by our work on the Law Family Commission on Civil Society.
