Parents and carers in #Aberdeenshire won a small victory in their campaign to save vital rural nurseries from closure. The decision now goes to full council in June. We believe that these cuts will hit poorer households the hardest. pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aberde…

🚌 Deadline 5pm tomorrow! We all need freedom to travel - but too often our buses are too dear for people on low incomes and don't take them where they need to go. We support public control and ownership of our bus services - you can too! getglasgowmoving.org/campaign/srbs/

Delighted to host a joint event with The Poverty Alliance this morning, to discuss the connections between poverty and climate and how we can tackle these together. Lots of great conversations had and important points to consider!

It's simply wrong that Universal Credit is so low that it doesn't cover life's essentials. It pushes people into debt and destitution and has a terrible impact on their mental and physical health. That's why we back the #OurEssentials campaign. trussell.org.uk/support-us/gua…

#ChildMaintenance is a vital tool to support children on low incomes. But the system isn't working for too many households. We can make it better. Read our research with Fife Gingerbread and others - supported by the The Robertson Trust. povertyalliance.org/child-maintena…

We can end the injustice of child poverty in Scotland. The Westminster government can end the two-child limit, boost the minimum wage, and strengthen social security. And here is our view on how the Scottish Government can act. povertyalliance.org/consultation-s…

Buses that are affordable, accessible, and safe. They're a vital way to help all of us get to work, training, education, or enjoy social connections. We asked people on low incomes in rural and urban Scotland how they'd make them better. transport.gov.scot/publication/po…
