Betting and Gaming Council

Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) has today launched a report with the Purpose Coalition which examines its current impact on levelling up and how it can go further in the future.

The Levelling Up Impact Report has been developed in partnership with the Purpose Coalition and benchmarks BGC’s work against an innovative set of 14 Levelling Up Goals. It identifies the areas where it is already making a positive impact and outlines Future Ambitions as to what more it can do to deliver equality of opportunity.

The BGC Levelling Up Impact Report provides an opportunity to learn more about the work BGC is doing to level-up both locally and nationally, and its levelling up strategy going forward. 

Lord Walney, Chair of the Purpose Business Coalition said:

“This analysis highlights the positive economic and social contribution made by members of the Betting and Gaming Council who are sustaining well paid high-tech jobs in several communities that are the focus of the government’s levelling up drive. The geographic spread of betting and gaming companies, their presence on most of our local high streets and the integral links the sector has with vital sporting events, give BGC members an important role to play in levelling up the UK.

“The Betting and Gaming Council is showing real leadership in supporting its members to increase this positive impact further at a crucial moment for the UK economy and the sector. I look forward to continuing to work with them as a valued member of the Purpose Coalition.”
