About the Commission

The Purposeful Finance Commission (PFC) is a forum for leaders from across the country to come together to identify, understand and overcome barriers faced in regenerating local areas.

​

The Commission will also produce practical solutions to support businesses’ ambitions to invest in local economies, whilst also identifying actions central government can take to improve the investment climate in the UK and deliver social value.

​

We are keen to ensure a range of perspectives contribute to our research and to hear from community groups and organisations delivering policy on the ground. If you would like to get in touch, please do not hesitate to contact us.
