Members of Scotland's anti-poverty network were clear with MSPs today - the welfare cuts proposed by 10 Dowing street will cause untold suffering. Here's Emma Jackson of @citizensadvicescot.

On Tuesday, we hosted a showing of On Falling, Written and Directed by Laura Carreira. A really powerful and poignant movie. Laura was there and able to talk to Lisa from Trussell about her research into working poverty for the film.

We've published our full response to the proposed changes to sickness and disability benefits: 1. This is the biggest cut to sickness and disability benefits in a generation. It will push 50,000 children into poverty, and reduce living standards for many more.

New vlog๐Ÿ‘‡Trussell food banks provided 3 million emergency food parcels last year. People are terrified record cuts to disability support will leave even more facing severe hardship. The government CAN turn the tide, but they need to change course now.

โ—๏ธ Cutting disability support wonโ€™t help people back into work. And it wonโ€™t help people who are already working. Shockingly, cuts could drive 3.2 MILLION people deeper into hardship.

Some of our staff are at a public meeting tonight about the govt's proposed changes to #DisabilityBenefits. The changes will likely just push more people into needing #foodbanks. How can we push back against these proposals and stop them harming vulnerable people?

Fantastic to get so much interest in the #GuaranteeOurEssentials campaign today - we've talked to nearly all the Glasgow MPs plus 2 from neighbouring constituencies, and asked them to work to tie #UniversalCredit to the actual cost of living #LobbyDay Trussell Trussell Scotland

Cuts to Universal Credit health support will affect nearly 300,000 disabled people in Scotland. And we already know that disabled people are more likely to use #foodbanks as it is. public.flourish.studio/visualisation/โ€ฆ Visualised with Flourish

We agree with The Poverty Alliance and hope MPs will rethink the proposed #BenefitsCuts - we don't want to see more people forced to use our services. povertyalliance.org/news-more-thanโ€ฆ
