Over 11 million people live in a low income household in the UK. More than 4 million adults received less than the minimum wage for working in 2006.
Adults in the poorest of our society are twice as likely to develop mental illness.
Children from manual social backgrounds are 1 and half times more likely to die as infants than those from other backgrounds.
A third of homes in England where classed as non-decent in 2004.

Hi Friday regulars.Sorry I couldn't make it on Friday. How did it go ?
Looks as though it was a quiet night. I didn't make it either
Oh dear...anyone else ?
Nor I - I did offer my apologies in advance - hopefully some one took some notes
It would be useful if anyone was there to let me know what was said so I can plan this Firday's service when we will have a guest in our midst from the Bradford Christian School
Whoops forgot to say, don't forget your red noses. I have also just looked at my plans and Fiona is planning this Friday, so my panic is over.
Should that not be red faces Richard? In view of our mass absenteeism last week?
I don't believe anyone needs to feel embarassed anonymous.
