Church Urban Fund is a member of the Get Fair national coalition campaign calling for an end to poverty in the UK.

I have signed an open letter to the three main party leaders urging the adoption of a recovery plan on the scale and ambition of that proposed by US president elect Barack Obama.

The letter is signed by 25 of the UK’s leading charities - see Get Fair

The letter has been sent to all three parties ahead of the chancellor’s pre-budget speech on Monday.
