Fair for You CIC
@fairforyou.bsky.social
We support financially-excluded households to buy essential items, avoid hardship, and build their financial resilience. Owned and overseen by the Fair Credit Charity.
Many of our customers access benefits; it's the only way of getting by.
But we frequently hear from them that the benefits system is hard to navigate and makes them feel stigmatised.
Our CEO was pleased to attend the launch of 'From stigma to support', an important new report by Turn2us.

While Fair for You and the Fair Credit Charity welcome the new strategy, we are concerned that it risks overlooking the role of CDFIs.

Today is the start of Talk Money Week, led by the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS).
When did you last talk openly about money?
We know that it can be a tricky topic - but we also know that talking about it can help make you feel more in control, and less isolated.

Hang it in the Louvre!
Okay, perhaps we're getting a bit overexcited, but we're still loving our new rebrand, so we're excited to get some new wall art for the office.
It features, among other things, our five brand values: trust, partnership, fairness, integrity and openness.

You may have seen news today about the Government moving forward on its plans to regulate #BuyNowPayLater (#BNPL) credit.
We know that many consumers like BNPL, but it doesn't work well for everyone or in all circumstances, and it's important that there is a broad range of credit options available.
