Alongside other anti-poverty charities in Scotland we're extremely concerned by the latest tackling child poverty delivery plan from the Scottish Government. 👇 @jrf-uk.bsky.social @opfs.org.uk @trussellscot.bsky.social @savechildrensco.bsky.social @cpagscotland.bsky.social @povertyalliance.org

Today, OPFS joins @jrf-uk.bsky.social and partners across Scotland to call for a stronger Tackling Child Poverty Delivery Plan. Around 30% of single parent families live with the devastating consequences of child poverty, something we see every day through the families we support.

No Limits to Childhood ❗️ Alongside @jrf-uk.bsky.social, @cpagscotland.bsky.social, @povertyalliance.org, @opfs.org.uk @aberlourcharity.bsky.social, @trusselluk.bsky.social, we're concerned the latest Scottish Government child poverty plan doesn't go far enough 👇 🧵(1/3)

How we talk about child poverty matters. That’s why our #ChangingTheStory project @jrf-uk.bsky.social is so important - a guide shaped by parents with lived experience to help change the narrative around child poverty in Scotland. Read more: tinyurl.com/yc5nyh6a

Along with other members of @endchildpoverty.bsky.social in Scotland we are gravely concerned current policy won't meet child poverty targets, and call on newly re-elected FM @johnswinney.bsky.social to urgently bring forward a revised child poverty plan see tfn.scot/news/campaig...

Campaigners call for child poverty action as first minister is re-elected - TFN

Congratulations @johnswinney.bsky.social. We look forward to continuing to work with you to progress our shared priority of eradicating child poverty. It is the actions of this government that will determine whether we meet the 2030 targets - what a legacy this will be #NoLimitsToChildhood.

Young people asked each party representative attending our Speak Up! event, with @savechildrensco.bsky.social & @cpagscotland.bsky.social, if they promise to involve young people, listen to them about things that affect them and make them part of their plans. Here's what they had to say 👇
