The first Challenge Poverty Week was launched by the Poverty Alliance in 2013 to highlight the injustice of poverty in Scotland, and to show that collective action based on justice and compassion can create solutions.
This week is an opportunity for us to raise our voices against poverty and unite with others in calling for a just and equal Scotland. For us at Centred and the Discovery College we know that poverty unfairly affects people living with poor mental health or addiction. In Highland, rurality can make the isolation and shame that comes with poverty worse.
This year the Discovery College will be open for anyone who needs a warm space or some help and advice on services or just on saving money. During the week there will be people to offer help and advice with a range of issues – energy advice, accessing food, Benefits advice, Cheap nutritious recipe ideas – we are looking to help raise awareness and offer practical help
Come along to see us in the Discovery College any day this week and we will see what we can do to help.
