If we’re going to eradicate child poverty in Scotland, it’s time for the Scottish Govt to go back to the drawing board and bring back a bolder Child Poverty Delivery Plan. 👇

Congratulations to all MSPs elected to Holyrood! We look forward to working with you to ensure that ending hunger and hardship is prioritised over the next five years. Together we can end the need for food banks in Scotland.

Overwhelmed 💚 by the generosity of shoppers in my local Asda supporting #Dunfermline @trusselluk.bsky.social food bank collection. We’ll be in Halbeath, St Leonard’s & Dalgety Bay stores till 4pm today. Your support will directly help local people unable to afford the essentials

Today is the second day of the Asda Food Drive! 🙌 You can donate items to us many Asda stores and help us provide emergency food parcels to people in your community. Every item makes a difference. 💚

Today voters across Scotland go to the polls and it feels like the right time to share this again. We can end the need for food banks, it just takes the political will. Together, we CAN build a future where we never need a sign like this. 💚

Today is International Workers' Memorial Day when we remember those who lost their lives or were injured at work. No one should go to work and not come home. Everyone deserves a safe workplace. Remember the dead, fight for the living! #IWMD2026

It’s not right that 1 million people in Scotland face food insecurity due to a lack of money. What will your Holyrood candidate do to end hunger in Scotland? Email them now & ask! 👇

❗️Ending hunger is a political choice. With elections coming up in Scotland, Wales, and local councils in England, we’ve listed 5 simple actions political leaders MUST take to end hunger. 🧵

We were pleased to be part of tonight’s #NatFoodDebate Hustings with our partners in the Scottish Food Coalition. Encouraging consensus from all panellists about the need for further action to end hunger in Scotland in the next Holyrood session.

Excited to be at tonight’s #NatFoodDebate - looking forward to hearing from the panel about how they will end the need for food banks and make Scotland a #GoodFoodNation for everyone.

A really enjoyable discussion last night - it’s time for all political parties to set out how they will meet Scotland’s child poverty targets and end the need for food banks. 👇

Last ever week of school for my daughter! Can’t quite believe how fast this has come round. 😱

A date for the diary! 📔 With a new Scottish Govt, we’ll explore how we can keep up the momentum for #CashFirst as we build a future where no one needs to turn to charity to feed themselves or their family. 👇

It’s encouraging that child poverty is falling in Scotland. It shows the power of investing in social security. But it’s not acceptable that 1 in 5 children are locked in poverty. All parties must commit to decisive action to ensure every child has a decent start in life.

Great to meet with @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social alongside some key partners to discuss how we can end child poverty across the UK.

🚨 ALERT: Hunger in Scotland isn’t a food problem - it’s an income problem. When incomes don’t cover essentials, food banks become lifelines. BUT no one should have to rely on them to survive.

Real pleasure to write this for the Welsh Centre for Public Policy - c 1 in 4 families with children in Wales face hunger, I've set out 10 steps that @trusselluk.bsky.social are urging the next Welsh Government to take to turn the tide on child poverty. wcpp.org.uk/blog-posts/t...

If we’re going to end child poverty and the need for food banks, we must tackle Scotland’s public debt crisis👇

Happy Mother’s Day to me amazing mum 🤩 🌷 - and all the brilliant mums I know! 🎉

Too many people in Scotland are unable to afford the essentials. The next Scot Govt must take bolder action to end the need for food banks. All of political parties should commit to action in #SP26 manifestos & work with UK Govt to ensure everyone can afford the essentials

A huge thanks to everyone who has taken the time to chat with our team at #ScotLab26 about how we end hunger in Scotland. You can read our #SP26 manifesto calls here bit.ly/TrussellScot...

We’re at Scottish Labour conference today in #Paisley to share our #SP26 manifesto with delegates and candidates. If you’re here, stop by our stand in Lucille’s Bar for a chat.

Another day, another conference. We’ve swapped Lib Dems at Dynamic Earth for @scottishgreens.org at Strathclyde University. Looking forward to sharing our @trusselluk.bsky.social calls for change to end hunger in Scotland.

Got round to building my Xmas Lego set - putting me in the holiday mood! 🇮🇹 ❤️ ☀️ #Lego

Interesting new report from @ipprscotland.bsky.social Focused on Scotland but relevant across the UK in making the case for social security investment. 1. High social spending is compatible with economic success. Evidence shows European countries with high levels...1/4 www.ippr.org/articles/mor...

Day 2 at #SCVOGathering flew by, lots of chat, not so much time for photos! Brilliant to connect with so many across the sector 😃

A very productive first day at #SCVOGathering. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat. We’ll be back on Stand 3 Cromdale tomorrow. Now looking forward to #SP26 SCVO Hustings!

With Cara at the trussell stand at the Gathering @trussellscot.bsky.social @trusselluk.bsky.social

I’ll be at the #SCVOGathering today and tomorrow mainly at the Trussell stall but also attending some brilliant sessions delivered by partners & looking forward to the SCVO Hustings later today! 😃

Friday night, hanging round with Andrew Marr. 😊 Turns out he has hidden talents as a poet!

🚨 New analysis alert! Our most recent polling revealed that nearly half of people in Scotland were feeling economically insecure. They are concerned about being able to afford the cost of everyday essentials - like food and energy. This has political consequences 🔽

Closing date Monday for this important position in Dunfermline Foodbank @trussellscot.bsky.social

We stand with Trussell. Every day our neighbours tell us they can't afford essentials. Behind every statistic is a person with something to say & a community listening. Everyone deserves dignity, security & the chance to thrive. Together, we can build a Scotland where no one needs a food bank. #SP26

Scottish Budget includes raising the Scottish Child Payment to £40 a week for families with a baby under 1, @trussellscot.bsky.social response to the BBC:

Everyone in Scotland should be able to afford the essentials. The next Scottish Govt must take bold action to end hunger and hardship #SP26

As a member of the End Child Poverty Coalition, we are pleased to sign this letter to the Finance Secretary. After doing the right thing to mitigate the 2-child limit @scottishgov.bsky.social must keep the money freed up to boost social security support for families: tinyurl.com/2xfh4yyy

Everyone should be able to afford the essentials but @bfawu.bsky.social’s latest research finds a shocking 65% of food workers face hunger in the UK. This isn’t right. Everyone in work should be paid a real living wage. 👇

Please support Trussell’s Winter Appeal - either by donating via link below or directly to your local Trussell community food bank. Your support will be a lifeline to people facing hunger this Xmas.

Great to see Ruth Maguire MSP highlight our @opfs.org.uk @trussellscot.bsky.social @aberlourcharity.bsky.social research into the gendered nature of public debt. We need targeted action from both our govts to tackle the public debt spiral that prevents many being able to afford the essentials.
