Closing the Gap on Poverty

Like many people I suppose, I often feel frustrated and powerless when I read or hear about what's happening internationally in East Africa, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the increasing numbers of people who live in poverty here in the UK.

The 'Close the Gap' campaign being coordinated by Church Action on Poverty reminds us that we don't always have to dip into our pockets and that there are other ways which help to make a difference, be it through prayer, action or donation.

By pledging to Close the Gap, it's a simple task to send an e-mail to your MP and local paper or join an e-petition. Their website has all the information you need to become involved.

Worth reading, too is Fiona's comment on the book 'The Spirit Level' by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett
