Our new analysis has highlighted a huge growth in income deprivation amongst older people.

In our latest news story we delved into the BBC One show Riot Women, and found that the show's setting is home to one of the most deprived areas for older people in the country.

❄️ As winter approaches, 100,000s of people are struggling to afford the essentials. So to hear the two-child limit has been scrapped in today’s #Budget is hugely welcome and will be transformational for around 20,000 children across Scotland. 🧵(1/3)

Rising child poverty, conflicts, climate shocks, and drastic funding cuts for life-saving services and supplies are robbing children of their futures.

We say: enough.

Child rights must be upheld through everyday actions and investment. #WorldChildrensDay
