Give, Act and Pray with us to build a more equal society Happier. Healthier. Safer. Fairer.

What is the problem?

The gap between rich and poor is greater now than at any time in the past 40 years.

The gap hurts everyone – rich and poor.

What are we calling for?

The Tax Gap  The rich currently pay a lower proportion of their income in tax than the poor.  Corporations avoid their social obligations through widespread tax avoidance.

Fair Tax  We can press for a tax system in which businesses and wealthy individuals pay their fair share  We must tackle tax avoidance  This would reduce the need for damaging cuts in public spending

The Pay Gap  Businesses reward high earners with excessive pay...  whilst paying poverty wages to their lowest- paid staff  Pay ratios in the private sector are at record levels

Fair Pay  We must shift the public mood so that excessive pay gaps are unacceptable  We can encourage employers to commit to paying a living wage  This will reduce poverty at source

The Price Gap  The poorest are unjustly forced to pay higher prices for basic goods and services  Gas...  Electricity...  Insurance...  Banking and borrowing

Fair Prices  Businesses must stop charging higher prices to their poorest customers  Government can put a cap on the charges made by lending companies  We can promote fairer alternatives, like Ebico and credit unions  We can save poor families up to £1,300 a year!

The Power Gap  This underlies all the other problems...  Big business exercises too much power  Local communities have little or no say in decisions that affect them

A Fair Say  Local people and groups from poorer communities must have a stronger voice  We will challenge the unfair power that businesses and lobbyists have over public decisions
