New mag looks at Scotland Demands Better, a minimum income guarantee, the Scottish Charity Awards winners and much more
The power of our sector is that we are able not just to highlight problems in society – but also that we have the expertise to formulate solutions.
We look at both of these aspects in this month’s TFN.
First, we highlight the Scotland Demand Better campaign, which both TFN and SCVO are getting fully behind. You can read (on pages 8-10) about this important cross sector and civil society push to bring a focus on the basics of how we live in our society.
To demand better lives – starting with real action on the scourges of low pay and poverty.
On the latter, another cross-sector collaboration has seen important work done on establishing a minimum income guarantee in Scotland – a level below which wages are not allowed to fall, and a means of lifting people out of poverty.
The findings are wide-ranging, but importantly they are not wishes or even demands: they are detailed and costed proposals which are now going to the Scottish Government. See what you think on pages 16-18.
And while we are looking at things cross-sector, a big shout out to all of this year’s Scottish Charity awards winners and nominees. The list of winners (pages 6-7) is a truly inspiring snapshot of the breadth of what we do
You will find all of that and much more in this month as well as TFN's usual line up of excellent columnists and features.
