Poverty and wealth across Britain 1968 to 2005This study provides a new spatial analysis of Britain's changing picture of poverty and affluence over the last 40 years.

Public attitudes to economic inequalityEconomic inequality is a marked feature of the socio-economic structure of the UK. This study examines little known public attitudes on this issues, and related issues of poverty and redistribution.

Are mixed communities the answer to segregation and poverty?Are mixed communities an effective way to reduce deprivation and social exclusion? In the first of a new 'Viewpoint' series from the JRF, Paul Cheshire argues that creating mixed neighbourhoods treats a symptom of inequality, not its cause.

Re: Racial Justice Sunday – Ecumenical Training Events
‘Go to a land I will show you’

You are invited to a training event on either Tuesday 17th or Thursday 19th July 2007, to help worship leaders and ministers to use the racial justice information packs on Racial Justice Sunday, which this year is on September 9th.

The training events will take place on the evenings of Tuesday 17th July at the Salvation Army Hall, Harrington Street, Preston and Thursday 19th July at Christ Church, Cross Street, Nelson and will run from 7.30pm to 9.30pm.

The evenings will be interactive events with groups looking at worship, children’s and young people’s work and at social action and with opportunity to think about new approaches to racial justice. There will be information packs and new ideas about the use of the material.

A full programme will be provided nearer to the dates of the training evenings and we hope you will want to take part. In a year when we have been looking at the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery and the realisation that slavery in many forms is still with us, we have the opportunity to work against racial injustice at home and elsewhere.

We look forward to seeing you at one of these events.
