@cpagscotland.bsky.socialYou can explore the online version of the zine here: mh.changingrealities.org
@cpagscotland.bsky.socialGreat to attend today's launch of @changingrealities.bsky.social zine created by parents and carers on the impact of low income on mental health as part of #ChallengePovertyWeek
Recommendations from parents include further investment in social security to match the rising cost of living
@cpagscotland.bsky.socialOur Director John Dickie opened his #ChallengePoverty week speaking at Station House Media Unit and Fairer Aberdeen Fund partners event. He welcomed progress on child poverty but stressed need for further action at local AND national level, with investment in social security AND public services.
@cpagscotland.bsky.socialImportant message from @povertyalliance.org to kick off #ChallengePoverty week. There is no credible route to meeting Scotland's child poverty targets that does not include further investment in social security👇
