Huge well done to @yeowell.bsky.social, @gracewyld.bsky.social, @hamidaali.bsky.social, Adam, Shuab, Beth, Joe, and the whole team for an outstanding first year – and thank you!
This time last year, FGF launched with a mission to shape a new operating system for the UK.
It’s been a successful first year, publishing impactful research on mission-driven government, devolution and the transition to power, alongside numerous events including our first Labour Party Conference.
