Organisations across Scotland are getting ready for #ChallengePoverty Week from 5th to 11th October – and it’s not too late to join them.
On our website povertyalliance.org/CPW you can find events and download our social media graphics and other fantastic resources. Share them and your messages of support with the hashtags #ChallengePoverty and #CPW26.
And there just a few spaces left for this year’s Annual Lecture with Asad Rehman, CEO Friends of the Earth England, Wales and NI. Asad brings 40 years’ experience campaigning for environmental, social and racial justice, with a deep understanding of how these struggles are inextricably linked.
Come to our AGM and discuss a better future
It’s wrong that growing division is being fostered our communities – but how can we respond?
Join our AGM this #ChallengePoverty Week, and take part in a discussion led by Satwat Rehman (One Parent Families Scotland), Sabir Zazai (Scottish Refugee Council) and David Hilferty (Citizens Advice Scotland) .
Gather to talk about delivering change on poverty
Join members of the Poverty Alliance, campaigners, community organisations, policymakers, practitioners and everyone committed to eradicating poverty in Scotland and across the UK for a day of discussion, debate and action.
This year’s conference will explore how we respond to the changing political environment, strengthen our collective voice, and build momentum for policies that reduce poverty and inequality.
Keynote speaker:
Shirley-Anne Somerville MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice and Housing
