Poverty in Scotland 2024

The launch of this year's independent, annual state of the nation report which sets out the nature and scale of poverty in Scotland.

The key message of this year's Challenge Poverty Week is the need to come together to raise our collective voice against poverty. Current rates of poverty across the UK underscores a clear need for collaboration across our governments to tackle this entrenched inequality. Both the Scottish and UK Governments have significant powers to positively impact on the lives of people in Scotland.
