It's been an honour to work with @thebinkshub.bsky.social @povertytruthscot.bsky.social on their community archive, telling the story of their relational approach to anti-poverty work in Scotland

Each quilt patch is part of a collective story about poverty. Over the coming week we’ll be sharing glimpses of the @povertytruthscot.bsky.social archive, launching on 19th May. Today, an image submitted to the archive that speaks to dignity, solidarity & change. edin.ac/3Fmy4nl #ComeAwayIn

Just over a week till our exhibition with The Binks Hub opens. Come visit and see our archive, listen to our soundscapes and sit in our Living Room. We’re so excited to share it with you. #comeawayin

Our Mutual Mentoring Project with GP’s at the Deep End came to an end today. 7 months of discovering connections, humanity and a rich seam of learning. What have you learned? ‘The fear that poverty brings. The pressure of being a GP. I have been inspired by my mentor and will take that away ‘

Jim Wallace was Co-Chair of Scotland's first Poverty Truth Commission and a great friend of the movement. We are deeply saddened to hear of his death and share this joint blog and memories of his time with us and The Poverty Truth Network. povertytruthnetwork.org/remembering-...

Our Poverty and Trauma Working Group met last week, filling a river with post-its, rapids, bridges and ideas. We are looking forward to developing this work in the new year and hosting some Poverty Truth Conversations.

Delighted to launch our latest Mutual Mentoring Project last week. This time we are pairing with GP’s at the Deep End and are excited for the months ahead.

Last week we were excited exhibitors at the Binks Hub event, ‘Poverty, Precarity and Community Empowerment’. We were sharing the progress so far on our digital archive and quilt - all wrapped up in our living room installation, ‘Come Away In.’

What should a good society look, sound and feel like? Throughout spring, we spent time in Swansea, Coatbridge and Manchester with members of the @povertytruthscot.bsky.social Community exploring this question together. Their reflections became this moving poem: carnegieuk.org/blog/lasting...

We’re proud members of @grippuk.bsky.social and were glad to host Susanna today on her trip round the UK, talking through ideas for the work ahead 😊

Just back from a great 24 hours with @carnegieuk.bsky.social and Poverty Truth Network talking about social contracts and what needs to change.

We were at the Hamiltonhill Claypits Open Day today making new friends and talking about the cost of living crisis and what gives us hope.

Excited to share news on the work we are doing with the wonderful Binks Hub - creating a digital quilt to share the story of our community and movement for change.
