It's time to Close the Gap

Today, Church Action on Poverty has published It's Time to Close the Gap: the Basic Case, a new free booklet. 11 prominent Christians have been asked to reflect on different aspects of the gap between rich and poor, what can be done to address them, and why the church must get involved.

With a Budget coming up, there is an opportunity to call for action to Close the Gap and Church Action on Poverty hope this publication will help to galvanise more people in the churches to speak out and take action.

Doing the following will help ensure it has a significant impact:

2. Make sure other people in your church and community get to see it too - and encourage them to act.
3. Click here to make your own Pledge to spread the word - and get more free resources to help you mobilise others in your community.

Church Action on Poverty works with church and community groups across the UK to make tackling poverty a priority. Their work involves: educating churches about poverty in the UK; enabling people in poverty to speak for themselves; working for policies to eradicate poverty; promoting reflection and action for social justice.
