About

Lucy Bushill-Matthews is a governance consultant supporting Muslim charities in the UK to lead with clarity, purpose, and integrity. She is on the Faculty of Faith in Leadership, equipping senior faith leaders across the Abrahamic traditions, and an Associate of Equi, a UK policy think tank drawing on Muslim insight. She was previously Chief Operating Officer at the National Zakat Foundation, a UK charity redistributing wealth through the Islamic pillar of Zakat.

Lucy is author of ‘Welcome to Islam-a convert’s tale’ and speaks on BBC Radio 2’s ‘Pause for Thought‘. She has delivered two TEDx talks and written for Emel, the UK’s Muslim lifestyle magazine.

Lucy became Muslim while studying Economics at Cambridge University, after investigating both Christianity and Islam side by side. She met her first Muslim at age 16 - an encounter that set her on a path of discovery, faith and reflection.

She lives with her husband in a village outside London, along with their cat, who enjoys walking across her keyboard. Their three adult children keep coming back home.
