Challenge Poverty Week was launched by the Poverty Alliance in 2013. We
wanted to highlight the injustice of poverty in Scotland, and to show that collective
action based on justice and compassion can create solutions. The week is an
opportunity to raise your voice against poverty and unite with others in calling for
a just and equal Scotland. Each year, hundreds of organisations in Scotland do
just that, including elected representatives, charities and NGOs, local authorities,
faith groups, businesses, school and colleges, trade unions, professional bodies
and more. This year, Challenge Poverty Week will take place between the 2nd and
8th of October.
