About us
Who we are
Fair By Design is run by the Barrow Cadbury Trust on behalf of a group of foundations. Barrow Cadbury Trust is an independent, endowed charitable foundation that has been working with others to drive structural change that leads to a just and equal society for more than 100 years.
Our culture and values
Our Vision
The Trust’s vision is of a just and peaceful society which recognises the equal value of all people.
Mission
The Trust’s mission is to use all of our assets, especially our money, to work with other to bring about structural change for a more just and equal society.
Values:
Voice – The Trust is committed to ‘speaking truth to power’ by enabling the unfiltered voice of people’s real lived experience to influence those in power.
Collaboration – Recognising that we can achieve little on our own, the Trust works in partnership with others to build movements for change.
Engagement – The Trust aims to use the power that having independent money gives us to work with all our partners respectfully in the interests of our shared goals.
Independence - The Trust sees a strong civil society, of which we are part and which we will nurture, as a key mechanism for holding the powerful to account.
Learning – The Trust seeks to learn from all the work we undertake and support – and to share that learning widely to increase impact.
Innovation and Evidence – The Trust will work over a sustained period of time to find and build an evidence base for new solutions to old problems.
Quaker Values – The Trust respects its historical roots in Birmingham and in Quaker values, although now embracing all faiths and none.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
We have a strong commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion and we encourage applications from people with personal experience of the social justice and human rights issues we seek to address. All staff have the right to request flexible working and to have this considered by their manager.
