More than 800,000 people in Scotland live in low income households. In a rich country like ours this is unnecessary and unacceptable. Challenge Poverty Week is an opportunity for you to help fight poverty and hardship in Scotland. More than 40 organisations and groups supported Challenge Poverty Week last year, and we hope even more get behind it this year.
The main aims of the week are to:
Highlight the reality of poverty and challenge the stereotypes about exist about it;
Demonstrate what is being done across Scotland to address poverty
Increase public support for more action to combat poverty
We are encouraging as many groups and individuals to get involved in Challenge Poverty Week by organising activities or taking part in activities organised by others.
