Challenge Poverty Week 2026
Challenge Poverty Week 2026 runs from Monday 5 October to Sunday 11 October 2026, and is coordinated by The Poverty Alliance in Scotland. We will be running a number of online events for stakeholders during that week to help ensure you have information you need about the benefits we deliver.
Our session on Monday 5 October will provide a general overview of who we are and the how to apply for the range of benefits we deliver. Places are nearly all gone at this but you can reserve a ticket here.
Later in the week we will also be delivering an event focused on our Five Family Payments, which includes Scottish Child Payment and our Best Start Grants.
You can register for that event here.
We will have more events throughout the month, including more on our Five Family Payments, as well as a focus on Funeral Support Payment. You can find links to all our events below.
You can also keep an eye on our social media pages throughout the week where we will be sharing relevant content across the daily themes.
