We celebrate our 30th anniversary AGM soon - details for joining us and booking below! eventbrite.co.uk/e/clued-up-agm…

A new dawn for children's rights As the sun rises over Scotland, Together 🧡 is flying the UN & Scotland flags from the summit of Ben Nevis to celebrate children's rights becoming law through the #UNCRCScotland Act. Happy UNCRC Commencement Day to children across Scotland🎈

The two-child limit violates the #UNCRC, which is now incorporated into law in Scotland. Hear our CEO, SallyAnn Kelly address this critical issue on BBC Radio Scotland #UNCRCScotland

Urgent action is needed to turn the tide on #ChildPoverty. Abolishing the 2 child limit would immediately lift 300k children across the UK out of poverty. This would be a good start. We urge Keir Starmer to do the right thing. 👓 👇 aberlour.org.uk/news-item/lett… #EndChildPoverty

Fife Gingerbread has been working with Shelter Scotland to find out how we can support our families regarding housing. By providing the right information and understanding processes, we can help parents know their rights and offer practical tips and contacts for support.

📣 We welcome the 2024-25 Scottish Government #ProgrammeforGovernment focus on #childpoverty but urge stronger action: ⬆️ raising the Scottish Child Payment 🍽️ universal free school meals 🚸 expanded childcare 👩‍👦‍👦tailored support for single parents. Full statement: bit.ly/3XB5V2A

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at today’s drop-in event! We had an incredible turnout, and we’re so grateful for your participation. Special thanks to Jenny Gilruth for attending and showing her support.
