We are delighted that FGF has been shortlisted for @SmartThinktanks ‘Think Tank of the Year’ award. Just three years after our launch, we have shaped changes to policy and the machinery of government, all in service of transforming the state to renew the nation.
In the last few ’ve been pleased and proud to see the government not just talking our language, but acting on our ideas.
On day two as Prime Minister, Andy Burnham announced a dedicated Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet – taking in No.10 and No.10 North, and the Cabinet Office functions serving the PM and Cabinet directly - in line with our Transforming Downing Street report recommendations. And the PM’s ambitious ‘Rewiring the State’ agenda is exactly the kind of devolution of power we’ve long argued for. It’s an exciting time for progressive reform of the state.
It’s also a real honour to be on the same shortlist as such a fantastic set of other think tanks, many of whom we’ve had the privilege to work with. Congratulations to all of them too - and fingers crossed for the #SmartThinkingAwards on 18 November!

Congratulations!! We all loved reading your entry!
We’re delighted to share that The Jobs Foundation has been named a finalist for the Best Convener Award 2026, part of the @SmartThinktanks Awards.
The award recognises think tanks that bring a wide range of voices together in new ways to move the dial on a policy issue, and our he work of our Employer Taskforce. Almost 30 major employers came together to pool their experience of hiring people who face barriers to work, including the long-term sick and young unemployed, and to turn that experience into a practical framework that other businesses can adopt.
Getting employers around the same table to share what genuinely works has been one of the most rewarding parts of our year, and it’s a privilege to be shortlisted alongside such outstanding organisations. Our thanks go to every business that gave its time and insight to the Taskforce.
