Anna Cunnane, Policy in Practice

I’m a software engineer with Policy in Practice which aims to close the £23 billion annual gap in unclaimed welfare support in the UK.

Prior to this I worked for 3 years at Common Knowledge – a co-operative that uses technology to help social movements build power. I graduated from the full stack web development bootcamp Founders and Coders in 2021. I completed a Software developer (level 4) apprenticeship with a merit in 2023. I also work for the National Domestic Abuse Helpline providing support and information to survivors of domestic abuse and other forms of violence against women and girls. I built and maintain a website to help professionals and survivors find their local domestic abuse support service.
