People in poverty pay more for essentials such as energy, insurance and credit. This is known as the poverty premium. The Fair By Design programme (FBD) is dedicated to ending the extra costs of being poor. FBD is run by Barrow Cadbury Trust. Please note FBD is an advocacy programme and not a grants programme.
Fair By Design is looking for a talented individual with an outstanding track record of successfully delivering impactful communications and public affairs strategies to join its team. Using your skills and experience you will help FBD to achieve its mission of eliminating the poverty premium by ensuring its communications are persuasive and effective and that its messages are heard by policymakers and those in power.
