It was a privilege to attend the launch of the Poverty Strategy Commission’s framework for tackling poverty this morning, having been involved in the advisory group. Thinking about what we at @fairbydesign.bsky.social can do to help make the suggested social contract a reality 🤔

Parliament was looking lovely last night for the @nea.org.uk annual reception. We were reminded by @kirstysnp.bsky.social about the ongoing impact of #fuelpoverty. @adamscorer.bsky.social was as inspiring as ever making the case for an ambitious response. Thanks to Baroness McIntosh for having us.

Mike Brewer from the @resolution explaining how a lack of savings can lead to #povertypremiums at the @nestinsight.bsky.social Easier to Save event… @fairbydesign.bsky.social

Discussing FlexMyRent trial in Nottingham today with @responsiblecred.bsky.social and sharing @fairbydesign.bsky.social s research on flexible payments in energy. Would be great to see flexibility being used more to boost financial resilience!

Fantastic to be in the beautiful @scotparl this evening and to be reunited with some of the wonderful #Givemesomecredit gang! Thanks to @benmacpherson and Financial Inclusion Scotland for another opportunity to share the exhibition #povertypremium @povertyalliance.org @fairbydesign.bsky.social
