Work is increasingly failing to protect people from hunger.

We need action to ensure fair, well paid work that protects people from hardship.

Today we’re at @scottishtuc.bsky.social Women’s conf & we’re looking forward to discussing how we make work more accessible & rewarding. #STUCwomen25

❗ The two-child limit is pushing families with children to food banks.

This policy is unfair and cruel. And it's time to end it.

📧 Email your MP now to call on the Chancellor to end the two-child limit 👇

One million Scots faced hunger last year including 1 in 4 children.

This isn’t right.

Today we’re in the Scottish Parliament with our team of lived experience experts to share our research and demand better.
