OPEN CALL Our new Programme Award open call launches in May with a focus on tackling in-work poverty. Find out more in @LyndsayFRob's blog. These awards aim to support work with potential to deliver big change that lasts on poverty & trauma in Scotland. therobertsontrust.org.uk/news-and-blogs…
📢Our @LydiaMurphyPA in @ThirdForceNews blogs about how our #RightsInAction project has helped organisations use #HumanRights as a tool to take action against the injustice of #poverty in wealthy #Scotland. tfn.scot/opinion/where-…
🧵 💻 The internet is a vital tool in our daily lives. We use it to manage bills, apply for jobs and stay in touch with friends and family. But people on the lowest incomes are having to go without the internet. And this brings huge challenges.
“As has been long pointed out – life costs more for disabled people.” 💷 @Sumi_RabindraK head of policy @TrussellTrust (the UK's largest food bank network) argues the government is taking the wrong approach in trying to boost the economy. 📈 Read on. ⬇️ bigissue.com/opinion/dwp-di…
🗣️ “I don’t know how I was living.” When Siobhan had to quit her job to care for her dad, they were both left with no income. They had to turn to a food bank just to survive. Listen to Siobhan share their story and what needs to change to build a better future. 💚
We are now hearing from @TrussellScot at our sub-contractor forum about the use of food banks in Scotland
Important new research from @jrf_uk showing how expanding early years childcare for under 3’s in Scotland would deliver positive change for families on the lowest incomes ⤵️

Nobody in Scotland should have to go without food. We’re campaigning for long-term change so everyone can afford life’s essentials. But until we get there, food banks are there to support people on the lowest incomes. Here’s how they work. 👇 💚
Our Money Advice Team is expanding to reach more foodbanks in North East and South East Edinburgh 📣 Apply today to be part of our forward-thinking team and make a difference to the lives of people living in crisis. Find out more our website: edinburghfoodproject.org/work-with-us/ #Edinburgh
We’ve got your messages. ✅ 💚 Universal Credit is falling short and forcing people to go without essentials, like food. Food banks are working tirelessly to fill the gap – and messages like this one are helping them to keep going. Thank you.
The way we talk about the Minimum Income Guarantee will be critical to building public & political support. How we can work together to build a positive case for the Minimum Income Guarantee? 📅14th May ⏰1030-1230 📷Albert Halls, Stirling Sign-up: eventbrite.co.uk/e/talking-abou…
We have a busy weekend coming up. Thursday and Friday we have a collection at Greenock Morrisons and on Saturday we have a collection at Cappielow.
We’re joining the great @TrussellScot for this workshop because we believe in a fair society, everyone should be able to afford the essentials. Some great organisations involved #OurEssentials

People on the lowest incomes often know exactly where every penny goes. But you can't budget with money you don't have. And right now, people don't have enough income for the essentials in the first place.
📢 Help us build a future where everyone can afford the essentials. Join our online workshop for organisations and campaigners in Scotland interested in building support for Guarantee #OurEssentials in Scotland. You can sign up here: bit.ly/EssentialsGE
