The Fair By Design Roadshow

The Fair By Design (FBD) Roadshow is a series of events bringing together social impact innovators and decision-makers committed to tackling the poverty premium across the UK.

It serves as a platform for all change-makers determined to work together and share best practices and the latest solutions, including tech businesses and social enterprises solving specific aspects of the poverty premium (fuel and food poverty, financial exclusion and high credit, digital exclusion, transport, etc.) and key enablers (policy-makers, local councils, housing associations, credit unions, large employers, media, etc…) that can support the roll-out of these cost-saving services to their residents, employees, and/or constituents.
