A weekend of catching up with friends, walking the kids and the dog in the fresh air, and taking some little chill moments to work on my dressmaking skills. Buttonholes were once my nemesis but look at them now 😍 #adventuresindressmaking #happysunday #mumlife #sewsky2025

Really enjoyed the @moreonion.bsky.social webinar hosted by Claire and Jess this morning focusing on Supporter Welcome Journeys. Lots to think about on this 🤔

The council tax is unjust and regressive and has to be replaced with a fairer alternative that unlocks Scotland’s wealth to invest in the public good. Listen to Ruth's full interview here: www.povertyalliance.org/news-unjust-...

We're Scotland's national anti-poverty movement. Come and say hello to us at the #SCVOGathering!

Just discovered the #sewskychallenge2025 here… Keen to take part! I think I’ll either make the #patinablouse (since I have developed a bit more confidence in buttonholes) or the #wildergown (my second) both patters from @fridaypatternco.bsky.social 🥰

Sunshine in Scotland ☀️ This little afternoon walk has really lifted our (my) mood!

Keeping connections with people in prison leads to better outcomes for everyone. But it can come at a cost to families, with many experiencing poverty, isolation, and a decline in mental health. The Families Outside #NoEasyJourney campaign can change that. https://www.familiesoutside.org.uk/get-inv…

This #HumanRightsDay, we're publishing a new report with @Roma_Voice highlighting the injustice that denies too many people in the Roma communities of #Govanhill their right to a decent home. https://buff.ly/4gj7Xes

The two-child limit is a deep injustice that has no place in a compassionate society. Read our reaction to the #ScotBudget here. https://buff.ly/49uQXPZ

Lots to think about after today’s #MakingChange Happen conference hosted by @povertyalliance.org. Panel guests, workshop speakers, and conversation with activists and members were thought-provoking and inspiring. Looking forward to putting ideas into action 😊

We need 10 Downing Street to build support and empathy for people who are locked out of decent work by our unjust economy. Listen to our Ruth Boyle talking about the new UK Government White Paper on employment support on Good Morning Scotland. www.povertyalliance.org/wp-content/u...

People on low incomes tell us buses are too dear, too unreliable, and don't meet their needs. That's why we support the Better Buses petition to @scotparliament.bsky.social . It's simply wrong to delay action on public control over bus services. petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE...
