Fairness Foundation

/// FINDING COMMON GROUND FOR A FAIRER FUTURE

We work to change the debate around fairness in the UK, and to make the case that high levels of socio-economic inequality are unfair, unpopular (85% of Britons are concerned about inequality), and bad for our society, economy and democracy. We aim to rebalance wealth in the UK, so as to rebuild the social contract and provide everyone with freedom and opportunity.
