Lucy McKay

Trustee


Lucy supports and trains organisers and charities on campaigning and media, including with NEON and Sheila McKechnie Foundation.

Her career has focused on working directly with people facing injustice and marginalisation to share their stories to inform and create change.

Lucy also works as a community organiser at The Bureau of Investigative Journalism. Before joining the Bureau, Lucy led on media and communications at the charity INQUEST for more than seven years. She directly supported families bereaved by deaths in state care, custody and detention to share their stories and challenge the issues arising to prevent future deaths. She also co-created and co-present the INQUEST podcast, Unlawful Killing.

She has a background in journalism, including coediting the print magazine STRIKE!, which platformed radical voices. Lucy is Scottish and is currently based in Hastings.
