Care Full was founded by Ruth and Hannah in 2023 as a space to expand ideas about the role of care in a new economy. As carers ourselves, we see everyday how the systems that surround us are designed to undervalue care and push it to the margins. The fundamental design of our economic model ensures this.
Through Care Full we bring together research, advocacy and participation, to conceptualise and demonstrate what a new, care-centred future might look like.
Meet the team
Ruth Hannan
Co-Founder
Ruth has worked in the community and at national policy level for a number of charities whose work focused on carers. She has led on policy in think tanks (the RSA) and charities (Carers Trust, People’s Powerhouse). She comes to Care Full after caring for her mum and dad for a number of years with her sister.
She feels passionately about this work after seeing little change over 20 years and a belief that we can create a better future beyond tiny changes to our flawed system.
Hannah Webster
Co-founder
Hannah’s background is in research, having led research teams in think tanks (the RSA) and charities (Turn2us, Centrepoint). She comes to Care Full after a number of years caring for her partner.
Hannah is inspired by the new economy movement and her hope that a different future, where we can all live in care and community with each other by design, is possible.
