History

Incorporated in June 2011,^[2] it was initially called The Communications Organisation^[3] and was renamed British Future in December 2011.^[4] It became a charity in 2014,^[5] having been previously run as a not-for-profit organisation.

Its director is Sunder Katwala, a former director of the Fabian Society.^[6] British Future states that it is a non-partisan organisation. It works with other think tanks, including Demos.^[7]

Research and campaigns

In 2017, research by British Future suggested that the Conservative Party would have claimed a 42-seat majority in the 2017 general election if it had the same level of support among ethnic minority Britons as it does among white voters.^[8]

It ran a campaign^[9] for shops to close^[10] and sporting events^[11] not to be played on Remembrance Sunday 2014, ninety-six years after the end of the First World War.

Publications

Its publications include This Sceptred Isle, Team GB: How 2012 Should Boost Britain, and Generation 2012: Optimism Despite Obstacles.
