The UK’s leading centre-right think tank

Onward is the UK's foremost centre-right think tank, championing policies to support free markets, strengthen the nation state, and create more effective government.

What we do

We set the agenda on the right, researching and creating policies to solve the problems that are making the UK poorer, the public disillusioned, and the state less effective. To do that, we engage with businesses, politicians, and individuals with good ideas.

Rebuilding Our Economy

Stronger growth, higher productivity, increased national security and greater social and geographical fairness.

Reshaping the State

Public service reform to deliver lean, efficient, top-quality services that are fit for the 21st century.

Renewing Our Social Contract

Fresh collective understanding of the balance between rights and responsibilities in our society.

Our latest work

Our current research focuses include radical welfare reform, achieving energy abundance, building more homes and infrastructure, and the future of the right.

“Britain needs fresh thinking: bold, imaginative and underpinned by first class research. From growing the economy to building homes to reshaping the state, Onward has the right team and the right ideas to put the tiger back in the tank of the centre-right.”

Rt Hon Lord Gove Former Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities

“We founded Onward to make policy on the centre right more hard-hitting, relevant and effective. We need Onward’s energy, input and their distinctive voice more than ever as we lay the foundations for a future Conservative government.”
