What impact does the real living wage have on third sector organisations? Allan Faulds was a panellist at our evidence session on third sector funding principles this week.

100,000 unpaid carers in Scotland are living in poverty, a shocking statistic from @CarersTrustScot that mirrors our own Trussell research.

Everyone should be able to afford the essentials. Increasing the incomes of unpaid carers must be a Scottish & UK Govt priority ⤵️

@AvantiWestCoast
Shocking service guys

@virginmedia
Disappointing service for a loyal client who is housebound.
Very poor

[Adam Yates @Adamyates83]

Million meals provided. Quite a humbling milestone but the stark reality of poverty in the city. Over 35% of stoke on Trent live in the lowest 10% of deprivation in the country with over 50% in the lowest 20%. Much more work to be done

In this week’s blog I reflect on the growing issues of #mentalhealth support for #older Scots. We simply need to start prioritising older people in Scotland. #TalktoUs. #NSAD24 #SamaritansAwareness #depression.

@moanycoo Totally - love the fact we can walk down from the house.
It’s equally lovely on a sunny day or a winter day

Busy work week - time for a stroll on the beach. I love living by the sea.

[Julie Podet 🌈 @JuPo71]

This is incredible by the team.
However we are still at risk of funding cuts !
The team have over 150 years experience in advice giving between them.

[DalkeithCAB @DalkCABOfficial]

Already this year we have client financial gains of over £2million!
This is through income maximisation work/ debt renegotiation &write offs/ help with housing issues etc

Will never understand why folks don’t ask people who are working on the frontline their opinion of how to assist people struggling due to cost of living crisis.
