Looking back at the amazing @1Mcleish's poem from #worldmentalhealthday last year. Still one of the most powerful descriptions we've seen - if you can relate - check out https://t.co/PXhI6EdNo0, we're here to help.

[Shelter Scotland @shelterscotland]

Your landlord can't just kick you out during the crisis. Illegal eviction is a criminal offence. They can't change locks or stop you from entering your home without an eviction order. If they do call the Police on 111 and contact us https://t.co/MwTEVVsgmv

Currently there are around 250,000 households affected by this policy. Leaving around 911,000 children much more likely to struggle in poverty #AllKidsCount

We’ve launched a survey to establish the needs of victim-survivors experiencing #economicabuse from a current or ex-partner during the #COVID19 outbreak so that we call for tailored support. If you are experiencing abuse & are safe to input please see https://t.co/LZG4I49bB1

[One Parent Families Scotland @OPFS]

Before COVID-19, half of single parent households were in poverty and three in four were 'financially insecure'. The pandemic has pushed many more families to crisis point.

We still need your help to support families with essential costs.

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

Giving retail vouchers to the public that have to be spent “face to face” - as opposed to online - openly discriminates against disabled people. It’s as if the government couldn’t think of more ways to screw the disabled community during this pandemic. https://t.co/fWWoll2kJj
