The first Challenge Poverty Week was launched by the Poverty Alliance in 2013 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 for you to raise your voice against poverty and unite with others in calling for a just and equal Scotland.
On the Poverty Alliance website under the Resources section you will find Lesson Plans on Challenge Poverty Week for all year groups: https://www.povertyalliance.org/cpw/
The Child Poverty Action Group have produced a set of activities designed to get your school community thinking and talking about poverty during Challenge Poverty Week: We have a brand-new set of Cost of the School Day activities designed to get school communities thinking and talking about poverty
Dumfries and Galloway Council also have a dedicated Cost of Living Website containing lots of useful local and national signposting information: Cost of Living – Cost of Living DG (dumgal.gov.uk)
