Welcome to the Purposeful Finance Commission
The Purposeful Finance Commission (PFC) and its Advisory Board is an independent body made up of leading combined authority figures, local government leads, investors and other regeneration experts who have come together to identify, understand and overcome the barriers to the development of housing and infrastructure across the country. By addressing these barriers, the PFC aims to ensure that purposeful regeneration delivers real social value, creating lasting benefits for local economies, communities, and the environment.
The Commission’s work is supported by original research and expertise from across the investment lifecycle. The Commission will demonstrate the critical role private investment can play in transforming local economies as well as providing practical recommendations to unlock investment for the communities that need it.

"With about £11 billion invested in projects across the country, we at PIC have seen the real benefits
regeneration projects can bring to local areas, including jobs, better social infrastructure, and
significant spend in the regional economy. However, there are councils and local authorities that
have proved better equipped to bring forward these types of projects than others, and the idea is to
help share this expertise across the country to really help drive the levelling up agenda, because it is
at the local level that real change will happen."
