Challenge Poverty Week Scotland
Poverty among pensioners is often overlooked and underestimated but the risk of financial hardship in later life is significant and rising.
In a new blog for @povertyalliance.org, we call for system changes to deliver security not struggle for older people.

This #ChallengePovertyWeek we’re continuing our fight to #EndSchoolMealDebt for good.

NASUWT attendees will assemble at 10.30am on Market Street, outside Waverley Station (under the bridge just before the turn onto Jeffrey Street).
We will then take the short walk down to Parliament in time for the march setting off at 11am. ✊
