UK income inequality is among the highest in the developed world. Evidence shows that this is bad for almost everyone, and exacerbates the impact of social inequalities. The Equality Trust works to improve the quality of life in the UK by reducing economic and social inequality. 

People in more equal societies live longer, have better mental and physical health and have better chances for a good education regardless of their background. Community life is stronger where the income gap is narrower, children do better at school and they are less likely to become teenage parents. When inequality is reduced people trust each other more, there is less violence and rates of imprisonment are lower. 

If we want to build a better society, it is essential we take action. The Equality Trust is working with others to build a social movement for change. We analyse and disseminate the latest research, promote robust evidence-based arguments and support a dynamic network of campaign groups across the country.  We also run several projects that aim to reduce inequality, including working with young people in schools and youth clubs, campaigning against the privatisation of development aid, and building a coalition for action on the disproportionate pay ratios we see in FTSE100 companies.
