Geoff Fimister (he/him)

Geoff brings a wealth of experience to this campaign, with over 50 years dedicated to policy and campaigning in the anti-poverty, welfare rights, and disability fields. He believes in using insight gained from the real-life experiences of Disabled people to drive impactful change.

In addition to his role as Head of Policy at Inclusion Barnet, Geoff is a self-employed writer, researcher, and consultant. Among other things, he is also a Policy Co-Chair of the Disability Benefits Consortium. This gives him a strong track record in amplifying the voices of those directly affected by policy decisions.

Geoff’s deep expertise in social security, disability, employment, and housing issues gives him a unique and valuable perspective. This positions him perfectly to navigate the complexities of this campaign and ensure it is grounded in reality.

“A new Government should bring new opportunities, but we can take nothing for granted – benefit cuts proposed by the outgoing administration are still in the pipeline and need to be taken out of it, replaced by a drive for positive change and a better life for Disabled people, in or out of paid work. Our campaign can help achieve this”.
