Ruth Campbell

Ruth is the chief officer at COMAS, an Edinburgh-based community development organisation focused on developing a unique initiative in partnership with people recovering from addiction.

Ruth’s career has been dedicated to finding new ways to help people and communities overcome social exclusion. She initiated a range of national projects in Scotland to engage young people in sharing their experiences and views to inform decision making in public services. She also pioneered action research methods in youth organisations in Edinburgh to ensure that their new ideas and techniques could be properly assessed for their impact and generate lessons for future practice.

She is also a Clore Social Fellow for 2011.
