🚨 This has been a lost parliament for homelessness.

📈 Children in temp: up 26% (highest on record)
📈 Homelessness: up nearly 20%
📈 Rough sleeping: more than doubled

10,480 children are paying the price of decades of underinvestment. This cannot be normalised.

A framed poster on a white wall titled "THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK." The poster features a colorful acronym where each letter of "THINK" stands for a reflective question: True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, and Kind. The bottom of the image features a teal footer with the logos for the Scottish Centre for Conflict Resolution (SCCR) and Cyrenians. A framed motivational poster centered on a wall. It features a graphic of a yellow sun with multi-colored rays (blue, pink, and yellow) radiating upward. Inside the sun, the text reads: "A LITTLE PROGRESS EACH DAY ADDS UP TO BIG RESULTS." The bottom of the image includes a teal footer with the SCCR and Cyrenians logos. A low-angle exterior shot of a building featuring a large white sign. The sign displays the North Lanarkshire Council logo and the text "HOUSING AND SOCIAL WORK SERVICES | Children's Carers Centre." The sign is mounted on a beige, textured wall above a set of dark doors. The bottom of the image features the same teal footer with SCCR and Cyrenians branding.

In 2021, Scotland was promised 110,000 affordable homes by 2032: around 11,000 per year. The reality shows that promise may get broken.

📆 2021/22 = 9,757 homes completed
📆 2022/23 = 9,680
📆 2023/24 = 8,413
📆 2024/25 = 6,582

Add your name. Help Scotland get what it needs.

Great to take part in the School Officers Engagement Event hosted by the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit in Glasgow yesterday. Our Emotional Health & Wellbeing Lead, Sofia, led an interactive session on conflict styles. A brilliant day with lots of learning, connection and shared experience.
Four smiling people stand in a room next to a tall vertical banner for the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit. The banner features the slogan "VIOLENCE IS PREVENTABLE, not inevitable," along with their website and social media handles. The group includes two women on the left, a man in glasses and a dark sweater in the center-right, and a woman in a patterned dress on the far right. Logos for the Scottish Centre for Conflict Resolution (SCCR) and Cyrenians are displayed at the bottom of the image.
