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