Siew Fung Lee is a Research Fellow at the UCL Social Research Institute, working on the Healthier Wealthier Families in East London project. The project supports families in Newham and Tower Hamlets by co-locating money advice services within health and community settings, and her work evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of this model for service users, providers and host services.

She draws on ethnographic methods and policy genealogy, informed by over twenty years' experience as an early years practitioner in England. She also supervises MA students at the IOE undertaking dissertations in Early Years and Primary Education.
