A huge thank you to @scotparl.bsky.social
staff and MSPs for welcoming us last week.
We loved showcasing how data-driven insight can drive whole-household solutions to tackle poverty.
Excited to deepen collaboration in communities that need it most!

Thanks to @reformscotland.bsky.social for the platform.
Too many people experience services as a maze of conditions, referrals and missed opportunities. Poverty isn’t inevitable - but we have to design systems that help people out, not hold them in. Grateful to share our perspective.

Why a peer-mentoring scheme in schools can make life better for women like me In schools across Scotland, senior pupils are working to change attitudes and tackle violence against women and girls.

‘Each and every day, women like me have to second guess their every move in an attempt to avoid becoming the next headline.’
Great work from Bethel Tesfay on how peer-mentoring schemes on gender-based violence can make women safer.
