The ongoing cost of living crisis continues to have a deep impact on people and organizations across Scotland. A previous report by the ALLIANCE had described some of the difficulties facing disabled people, people living with long term conditions and unpaid carers, including limitations on the right to food and to equal participation in society.
These difficulties have been compounded as third sector organizations, which provide essential and irreplaceable support for people, have been facing their own challenges arising both directly from the cost-of-living crisis and from long term structural issues. By bringing together what the ALLIANCE heard through a membership survey, a conference workshop, and a detailed case study, this report offers a snapshot of the impacts of the crisis on our organizational members.
