Lauren Burnett (35) is one of the many faces of the ‘More Than My Past’ campaign, which was launched yesterday by the Forward Trust, a charity which has been helping people with criminal backgrounds or drug and alcohol problems turn their lives around for over 25 years.
The campaign aims to challenge barriers and stigmas that prevent people with difficult pasts from reaching their full potential, particularly in finding work, whilst demonstrating to employers that such individuals are a worthy investment, if given the opportunity to prove themselves.
