THE COMMON GOOD FOUNDATION 

We are a charity and limited company established in 2016 in order to reconcile estranged interests; and promote,develop and champion the common good in the economy, politics and society. Its foundation was based upon the insight that there was increasing polarisation and isolation between communities within an economic framework. We provide training, seminars publications and broadcasts.
