For 12 months from May 2013 the Joseph Rowntree Foundation supported the Poverty Alliance to carry out a range of activities that would help ensure that the voices and experiences of those living on low incomes in Scotland were included as part of their UK Anti-Poverty Strategies research programme. This short report highlights what, for the communities and individuals we have engaged with, a Scotland without of poverty would mean to them. It sought to identify what some of the main challenges are, and how these may be addressed over the short and longer term.
