From Brian Jarman’s inequality maps of the 1970s to David Widgery’s activism it also gives me hope that the fight to tackle inequality is still out there, even if sadly lacking from the current government agenda. This is not the end of the story!

I’ve really enjoyed doing the research into this over the last 8 months, and meeting some great people who are battling to make a difference to inequality, from the GPs in “deep end” practices in Scotland to the Museum of Homelessness.

The UK Government committed to tackling child poverty, and right now it is rising. At the moment, this will be the first Labour Government likely to oversee a significant rise in the number of children in poverty.
