CPAG's work in Scotland

We work for the one in four children in Scotland growing up in poverty. We collect evidence from families living in poverty and campaign for solutions to bring about a society where children have a fair chance in life free from hardship. We provide training, advice and information on social security to frontline workers to make sure families get the financial support they need.

Causes of poverty

Families with children face greater costs, and their income can be affected by low pay, lack of paid work, rising living costs and inadequate social security benefits.

Effects of poverty

Poverty can mean children going without basics, and it can also mean missing out on everyday fun and activities that other kids take for granted. Poverty harms children's health, social and emotional wellbeing, and education. It harms their childhoods and their futures.

Ending child poverty

Child poverty is not inevitable. Making sure every child gets a good start in life is the right thing to do and the smartest investment we can make as a country.

What is poverty?

Poverty means not having enough resources to meet household needs and participate in society.
