The Good Growth Foundation was established to ensure the UK thrives on the world stage.
We want growth that makes people’s lives better. Jobs, Housing and public services no longer create the security and living standards that people need. We are here to provide answers on how to deliver the changes necessary and how to talk about the economy in a way that makes sense to the public.
Our approach focuses on what matters most to people. Through polling, focus groups and policy analysis we drive the conversation on how to deliver popular solutions to the UK’s decade of lost growth.

A Watertight Solution for Public Control
August 2026
Water privatisation has been one of the clearest failures of UK policy. For millions of billpayers, weak regulation has let shareholders extract profits while bills soar, debt balloons and sewage pollutes our rivers and coastlines, leaving customers paying more for a worsening service. Here we set out our Watertight Solution - primary legislation that would force the worst offenders into public control fast and give the rest an ultimatum to mutualise or face tougher regulation - would turn water companies into customer-owned, not-for-profit cooperatives, ending the era of extraction and rebuilding a system that finally works for people rather than profit.
Campaigning for a Windfall Tax on Private Healthcare
The Good Growth Foundation is campaigning alongside Lord Kinnock for a windfall tax on private healthcare to fund the NHS. Our research shows that 55% of the public support such a proposal - with only 17% opposed. We are sleepwalking into a two-tier health system, and we have to back the NHS.
