📢 We must improve dignified and 'cash first' food insecurity responses, including boosting the value and responsiveness of the Scottish Welfare Fund. 🥫 Additionally, supermarkets should commit to setting the lowest prices - including cutting prices - on key basic food items.

🎒 We are calling for the Scottish Government to deliver universal free school breakfasts and lunch provision to all pupils in Scotland. This morning, we heard from EIS and Magic Breakfast the necessity of food for learning and wellbeing. x.com/EISUnion/statu…

No young person is ready to learn when they are hungry. Universal free school meals provision is the best option for young people, their health and wellbeing, their social lives at school, and their educational chances. #CPW24
