The Equality Trust

The Equality Trust works to improve the quality of life in the UK by reducing economic and social inequality.

UK income inequality is among the highest in the developed world and evidence shows that this is bad for almost everyone. People in more equal societies live longer, have better mental 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.

The Equality Trust works with others to build a social movement for equality by analyzing and disseminate the latest research and promoting robust evidence-based arguments and supporting a dynamic network of equality groups across the country.
