We support #ChallengePoverty Week
It’s World Mental Health Day & also Day 6 of #ChallengePoverty week.
62% of people referred to food banks in our Trussell community have a mental health challenge.
We must invest in better & more timely access to mental health services & fix social security so everyone can afford the essentials
Day 6 of #ChallengePoverty Week. People in #Scotland believe in equality. Anyone can experience poor health, but poverty and poor #MentalHealth are closely intertwined.
Together we can invest in a Scotland that provides real support to people with mental health problems.
Today’s #ChallengePoverty Week theme is “standing up for mental health”, which coincides with #WorldMentalHealthDay 🧠
Youth work plays a crucial role in addressing the root causes of poverty & enhancing mental health and emotional resilience.
Reducing poverty helps to protect and improve mental health - that’s the message on #WorldMentalHealth day from #ChallengePoverty week. We believe this is true.

A fair education system invests in learners, removes barriers, and ensures everyone has the opportunity to succeed. #ChallengePoverty #CPW
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.
#ChallengePoverty
Day 5 of #ChallengePoverty week is focused on investing in communities.
Access to #CashFirst support iand advice services in accessible places, is vital to ensuring people get the support they need - when and where they need it.

Work should provide security, flexibility and wages that pay the bills.
Data gathered from our Big Question survey shows the impact of the cost of living on teachers, particularly early career teachers.
NASUWT remains committed to #ChallengePoverty across education.
