We're delighted to share our Manifesto for a #WellbeingEconomy co-created with our members.

Our manifesto highlights how we can change the rules of our economy, using bold, achievable and transformative policies that put people and planet first. www.weallscotland.org/_files/ugd/e...
text along the top says 'Manifesto for a Wellbeing Economy' underneath is a picture of two women holding signs that say 'Let's redesign our economy for people and planet.' and 'Put justice and compassion at the heart of our economy.'

The Welsh Government asked its people what kind of future they wanted, then made it the law to act for generations to come.

Now, other countries are paying attention.

Want to see this where you are? Share and tag your elected reps to show what’s possible.

Today's #ProgrammeForGovernment falls short of what we need to create a #WellbeingEconomy in Scotland where everyone can thrive.

Read our full response: weallscotland.org/post/pfg2025
It is deeply concerning to see once again no mention of the Wellbeing Economy in the Programme for Government. We need to move away from short term thinking and sticking plaster solutions. We need an economy that will improve the wellbeing of people in Scotland, now and in the future.

Our verdict on the #ProgrammeforGovernment ?

We need much bolder action, backed by fair taxation. Scottish Ministers must stop dithering and start delivering.

Our full reaction ▶️ bit.ly/4d4rVc4
This Programme for Government is too quiet on inequality, too soft on polluters and too slow on change: Scottish Ministers are once again treading water while the storms of poverty, inequality and the climate crisis rage." - Jamie Livingstone, Head of Oxfam Scotland
