Call for tender: poverty premium research project with Fair By Design & Turn2Us

New Fair By Design Director

After a year at the helm, Lucie Russell, Fair by Design Campaign’s Director, has left to take up a CEO role at youth charity Street Doctors. Fair By Design would like to wish her every success in her new role. Street Doctors will benefit hugely from the energy and commitment which she has given to the early stages of the Fair by Design Campaign.

The new director, Martin Coppack, will take up his role at the end of June. Martin is currently Deputy Chief Executive at the Lending Standards Board. Prior to that he was Head of Partnerships at the Financial Conduct Authority. We look forward to welcoming Martin to Fair by Design.

“Over the past decade I’ve had a fair share of hurdles to overcome, from addictions to grief and debts that felt unbeatable. Each month I would have the same determination to make it different. I would set out spreadsheets a week before payday, allocating money to each debt and expense."

Helping to shape the sun’s universal credit campaign

We helped shape the Sun’s new Universal Credit campaign, with a particular focus on its Poverty Premium aspects, where waiting for Universal Credit for weeks put great financial strain on families, increasing the need to go to high cost lenders.
