Our Director John Dickie opened his #ChallengePoverty week speaking at Station House Media Unit and Fairer Aberdeen Fund partners event. He welcomed progress on child poverty but stressed need for further action at local AND national level, with investment in social security AND public services.

Important message from @povertyalliance.org to kick off #ChallengePoverty week. There is no credible route to meeting Scotland's child poverty targets that does not include further investment in social security👇

As part of #TaxJusticeScotland we're calling on the FM to make the tax system fairer as part of action to end child poverty, including replacing Council Tax with a fairer system. Those with the most wealth should pay their fair share so we can fund the services that protect children from poverty.
