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.

Ahead of today's Spring Statement, we are calling on the Chancellor to put justice and compassion at the heart of her budget choices. We deserve an economy that takes care of us and that uses our collective wealth to look after everyone.

📢 New report out now highlights how our economy is failing the people of Scotland.

We joined voices with leading academics and economists to call for the people of Scotland to have more of a say in the decisions that impact their lives.

"In a just and compassionate Scotland, everyone should have the opportunity to thrive. But right now people are struggling as we face increasing financial and environmental crises caused by our outdated economic model. We need to include the people of Scotland in the conversation about how we redesign our economy so that it delivers social justice on a healthy planet. We need a Wellbeing Economy."

We want to say a huge congratulations to our Trustee @satwatr.bsky.social on recently receiving an honorary doctorate from Glasgow Caledonian University for her tireless work on tackling inequality and campaigning for social justice. A very well deserved recognition 👏

Imagine a Scotland where every child grows up free from poverty. Where our hospitals/schools have the resources to care for all, where we’re tackling the climate crisis head-on.

A fairer tax system can help make it a reality.

That's why we're backing #TaxJusticeScotland
Tax Justice Scotland. Fairer taxes can help combat deep inequalities in Scotland and help deliver a healthier, more inclusive economy.

Our economy isn't working for people or planet.

We need a #WellbeingEconomy that delivers social justice on a healthy planet.
