Short interventions can solve problems. They rarely change trajectories. Interventions matter. But when challenges like housing, work, health and finances are interconnected, progress rarely happens in isolation. tinyurl.com/yenx9bw4

Trust rarely develops on a timetable. Many support programmes run for fixed periods — but for people facing complex challenges, engagement depends on continuity. Short interventions create contact. Trust takes time. Read more here: tinyurl.com/2aud88db

@ScotGovFairer @scotgov Thanks to Mairi McAllan and team for taking time to engage with our customers around fuel poverty. Also a great opportunity to test how current system design is working in practice, where it creates avoidable churn and how relational delivery reduces it. #fuelpoverty

.@ScotGov ministers are committed to improving energy literacy, advice and support. Building on last year's consumer energy roundtable, Housing Secretary Mairi McAllan joined consumers at @wisegroup_se to listen to and learn about their experiences of accessing energy advice.

People face connected problems. Systems often deliver disconnected support. That’s one reason poverty persists. Our latest blog looks at why reversing poverty requires prevention infrastructure, not short interventions. Read more: shorturl.at/I5UwQ #PovertyPrevention

Households rarely face one challenge at a time, yet our systems still respond in fragments. Is managing poverty costing Scotland more than reversing it? Our latest article explores why integrated, relational support can reduce long-term demand. Read: tinyurl.com/3wdzew8p

Yesterday I visited the @wisegroup_se in Airdrie and heard from Sean Donnelly, Maria Ruponen and Hilary Baxter how they help to lift families out of poverty through mentoring. They have an impressive record.

Accessing support in the UK is complicated. Every service helps with something different - but if you have a range of barriers to overcome, it’s overwhelming to know where to start. Meet Alla, who is working with the Wise Group. See more on @STVNews 👉 news.stv.tv/west-central/c…

Thanks to @reformscotland for the platform. Too many people experience services as a maze of conditions, referrals and missed opportunities. Poverty isn’t inevitable - but we have to design systems that help people out, not hold them in. Grateful to share our perspective.

I was pleased to visit to the @wisegroup_se exhibition in Parliament last week. The Wise Group's approach tackles the root causes of poverty - not just the symptoms. A lot can be learned from their Relational Mentoring model as we look to build an economy that works for everyone.
