Poverty is holding back 1 in 4 young lives. We don't have to accept this. The 2026 election is a chance to change course and create a better future for children, and for all of us. Investing in social security is part of how we can build this better future.
Around 1 in 4 children in Scotland are living in poverty.
Poverty remains far too high, and people are feeling overlooked and ignored by politicians.
The next Scottish Parliament is an opportunity to build a better future for all children in Scotland. 🔽 1/4
