Picture of Ruth Boyle of the Poverty Alliance. Her quote says “People in Scotland want a just and compassionate society - but too many feel the system is rigged against them. 

“There was some good news today – but we can do much more to make sure that every child in Scotland gets the investment they need for a decent life and a better future. 

“Ensuring that every child in primary school gets a healthy breakfast is an excellent investment, because no child should go to school hungry. ..

“Increasing the Scottish Child Payment to £40 for eligible households with a baby under 1 is welcome and will help families at a time when they face increased costs. However, this must be a first step towards boosting that payment to £40 for every eligible child in the country. That is the kind of fundamental investment the Government needs to make if they are serious about meeting the 2030 child poverty targets.

“With Scotland not on track to meet those legally binding targets, we need all political parties to set out their plans to invest in country where no child lives in poverty. Our children can’t wait any longer...
