The Larder

It all has to stop with state accountability. We need bold leadership to end poverty in Scotland. The Larder’s campaign song is a call to action. #ChallengePovertyWeek #WeDemandBetter @MonicaLennon7 @MilesBriggsMSP @ChristinaSNP @PaulJSweeney @ScotGov @ShonaRobison @AnasSarwar

West Lothian communities face unique challenges but poverty is everywhere. The Larder stands with those left behind and demand better investment in our communities. #ChallengePovertyWeek #FoodJustice #WeDemandBetter @EmmaHarperMSP @MairiGougeon @RhodaGrant @KarenAdamSNP

The Larder’s anthem No One Is Left Behind continues to inspire action. Poverty is political - and we demand change. #ChallengePovertyWeek #WeDemandBetter 🎧 soundcloud.com/the-larder/no-… @ShirleyAnneSNP @PamDuncanGlancy @MaggieChapman @SP_Poverty @PovertyAlliance @ScotGov @ShonaRobison

Young people deserve opportunity, not barriers. Education must be a pathway out of poverty. We support the demand for better jobs, pay, hours, conditions and worker voice. #ChallengePovertyWeek #YouthVoice #WeDemandBetter @Ross_Greer @JennyGilruth @PamDuncanGlancy @KaukabStewart

Poverty impacts building a foundation for a better life. We need integrated support, not fragmented systems. This #ChallengePoverty Week #WeDemandBetter social security so that all of us have a foundation for the future. @DrGulhane @agcolehamilton @MonicaLennon7 @MilesBriggsMSP
