Get Fair is a national coalition campaigning to end poverty in the UK. We are calling on all parties to commit to concrete measures to ensure decent, adequate incomes, fair access to services, affordable homes and decent neighbourhoods. For young and old, for those who are single or with families. We will be campaigning over the next year to ensure priority is given to tackling poverty in all its forms, making the UK a more just and fair society.
Join the Campaign to secure the commitment of all major political parties to deliver on their existing commitment to end child poverty by 2020 and to extend this goal to ending poverty across every generation in the UK.

Over the past two decades Britain has become richer - but not any fairer. The UK is the fifth richest country on the planet - yet the gap between rich and poor continues to grow

  • 32% of children in the UK live in poverty - half in working families
  • 40% of part-time workers in the UK - mostly women - earn less than £6.50 an hour
  • 43% of all UK adults are worried about their lack of money.
  • 66% of the public think asylum seekers should be allowed to work - but they are not
  • 30% of disabled adults live in poverty - double the rate for non-disabled adults
  • 14% of homeless households have been in temporary housing for two years or more
  • 17% of older people in the UK live below the poverty line.
