Eigg has 16 kids, but no play area to enjoy or share with our many visiting children. We'd like to build one next to our shop and tearoom, so while our 99 adults do adult stuff, kids can have fun. Please help if you can. Thanks crowdfunder.co.uk/p/isle-of-eigg…

There aren't enough affordable properties in the UK for every family under the Benefit Cap. At our recent event, Aaron Reeves explained how the policy has therefore failed to incentivise families to find cheaper accommodation.

“The ethos behind it is really to coordinate the help that’s available to people.” Duncan Leece BEM, chief executive of Banffshire Partnership discusses Just Ask Boyndie, a new pilot project, which aims to provide access to transport and crisis support for communities.

This weekend marks the 8th year the two-child limit on benefit payments has been in place. 1 child every 13 mins falls into poverty because of this policy. The govt must scrap it in the upcoming Child Poverty Strategy End Child Poverty

A serious issue that means thousands of people's world's are kept small. My dad is in a wheelchair and there are two wheelchair taxis in Derry that we can use to take him out. The drivers are amazing, kind and empathetic, and really go the extra mile, but are stretched so thin.

Parents and carers in #Aberdeenshire won a small victory in their campaign to save vital rural nurseries from closure. The decision now goes to full council in June. We believe that these cuts will hit poorer households the hardest. pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aberde…

Today, we've written to David Lammy calling on the Government to take immediate action to prevent famine in Gaza. As Israel continues their blockade of humanitarian aid, 1 in 5 people face imminent starvation and hospitals are running out of medicines fast.
