My name is Ewan Gurr and I have spent my life either myself experiencing or working alongside people experiencing poverty. It is my belief that it is neither necessary nor inevitable but also that many existing charitable endeavours impede the creation of a poverty-free future, which I write about here. I also live in Dundee with my wife Leah and our four children, all under the age of 12.
This life has seen me pioneer Scotland’s busiest foodbank in Dundee and Angus in 2005, lead The Trussell Trust in Scotland from 2011, serve as a non-executive director of Social Security Scotland from 2018 and found Over in 2022. These organisations collectively serve in excess of 1.4 million people per year in Scotland and, all in their own way, contribute to that hopeful future.
With a sense of hope, I work for and write about a better tomorrow.
