The idea that we would lower the incomes of the most vulnerable and those facing the most extreme poverty in society is unthinkable.

I'm a single mum; If my disability benefits are cut, I won’t be able to feed my kids
I live with fibromyalgia, a condition with no cure that means I experience pain everyday, as well as a debilitating bowel condition. I am also a single mum of three.

Today’s @jrf-uk.bsky.social report shows the need for both UK & Scot Govs to work together to #EndChildPoverty. Economic growth won’t achieve that without targeted policies to lift families out of poverty. We're making progress in Scotland but there is so much more we must do.
4.3 million children are in poverty
UK govt won’t see progress on child poverty by 2029 even with high economic growth 📢
Our analysis shows under our central scenario only Scotland will see child poverty rates fall by 2029 in part due to social security policies 1/5
