Today we have published Impact UK, which for the first time estimates the scale, scope, and power of the UK’s impact economy - contributing £428 billion in gross value added to the UK economy as a whole and, at 15% of UK GDP, one of the most significant sectors in the economy. The report highlights the ambition, vibrancy and diversity of the organisations that form the impact economy and includes contributions from some of its leaders and innovators. Crucially, it points to what we can all do to make the most of this engine for positive change at the heart of our economy. Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, Rt Hon Darren Jones MP said: “This report highlights the vital role of purpose-driven businesses, charities, philanthropy and investors in our society. That’s why last year we launched the Office for the Impact Economy to help these organisations work more closely with the government to unlock billions in investments in our communities across the UK and drive national renewal.” Let’s invest in the impact economy.
