Following the success of its #CashFirst programme, we’re calling on the Scottish Govt to continue & expand this to all local authority areas.

This should be part of an updated action plan to end the need for food banks in Scotland.

Yesterday, a group of activists shared their experience with Scot Gov FM John Swinney at a special meeting for #ChallengePoverty Week - asking for justice and action on child and adolescent mental health support, warm homes, and getting rid of stigma.

It’s #ChallengePoverty Week and today organisations across Scotland are laser-focused on the changes Scotland needs to make to end child poverty. At Children’s Parliament, we’re no different and over the past few months we’ve been busy setting up Child Power Club with @savechildrensco.bsky.social

Tackling Child Poverty is the theme of day 4 of #ChallengePoverty week and NASUWT is platforming some of the good practice in our schools.

Engaging with local communities, including parents/carers, young people and even local businesses, will support efforts to tackle the cost of the school day.

Day 3 of #ChallengePoverty week & a call for action on fair work.

1 in 6 in work experience food insecurity in Scotland & increasingly work does not protect people from hunger & hardship.

This must change. Everyone in work should have a living wage, living hours & security.

Day 3 of #ChallengePoverty Week and we're looking at the urgent need to build a #FairWork Scotland, where jobs provide security, flexibility, and wages that cover the real cost of living.
