Close the Gap
Join the Close the Gap network to receive monthly emails telling you about simple actions you can take to close the gap between rich and poor.
The gap between rich and poor in the UK is greater now than at any time in the past 40 years. We need your help to tell those in power that it's time to Close the Gap.
Sign up to the network
We'll email you about once a month, with simple actions you can take online to tackle inequality. You might email your MP, contact a company that's exploiting people in poverty, or invite friends to join in! Whatever the action is, it'll only take you a few minutes.
Each action will include links to videos, stories and pictures to help you understand the issues we're campaigning on.

Download and print our Close the Gap income chart. Printed on sheets of A4, each sheet represents £100,000 of income. Symbols represent people on various income levels. It illustrates dramatically the gap between the UK's richest and poorest people. While 90% of the population only earn enough to get halfway up the first page, the very richest people are 30 pages away.
Use the display in your church or group to bring home to people the scale of the gap that is opening in our society!
