Fairness Foundation

Who we are

The Fairness Foundation works to change the debate around fairness in order to build a fairer society.

Our vision is a Britain where everyone has the ‘fair necessities’ (see below), made possible by building a consensus about what a fair society and economy looks like.

Our mission is to work towards that consensus, by:

• Building a vision for a fairer society and showing that this has broad support across a range of issues
• Inspiring partner organisations to use fairness to reach and influence key audiences
• Persuading decision-makers and influencers of the need to achieve fairness by reducing inequality

Our activities fall into three areas:

• Building and popularising a vision for a fairer society in Britain that can attract broad support
• Making the political case for fairness by researching public attitudes to a range of issues
• Making the economic case for fairness and highlighting the most effective interventions

We focus on ten issues that span the full range of areas of society and the economy: democracy, education, the environment, health, housing, justice, social security, taxation, wealth and work.
