It's been another exciting year for Fair for You - partnerships, awards, a relaunch, a rebrand, lots of social impact, an anniversary, and more.
Here, our CEO looks back on 2025, and gives his thanks to everyone who has been part of it...

The report clearly lays out this reality — and provides recommendations for reframing the system, ensuring dignity and respect, through the #TimmsReview.
After all, just because you've got a bit less money than others, it doesn't mean you don't deserve to be treated well.

Many of our customers access benefits; it's the only way of getting by.
But we frequently hear from them that the benefits system is hard to navigate and makes them feel stigmatised.
Last week, our CEO attended @turn2us_org's launch of its report 'From Stigma to Support'.

🧵 @hmtreasury has published a new Financial Inclusion Strategy.
While Fair for You and the @FairCreditChty welcome the new strategy, we are concerned that it risks overlooking the role of CDFIs.

Our CEO Simon Dukes says:
"With millions of adults seeking credit, yet being declined despite affordability, we urge Government to establish a national fund to leverage public, private, and social investment at the scale required to achieve genuine financial inclusion."

Today is the start of Talk Money Week, led by @MoneyPensionsUK.
How often do you talk openly about money?
We know that it can be a tough topic. But we also know that talking about it can help make you feel more in control, and less isolated.

Our loans of £25-£350 can make a huge difference to peoples' lives...
...and now you can invest in us from just £50 through our new Ethex bond, helping us to support even more customers.
Who doesn't love a good sequel?
Fair for You is delighted to launch its second bond offer on the ethical investment platform Ethex today.
