Organisation
The Poverty Alliance is the national anti-poverty network in Scotland, with almost 400 members from across civil society, and including people with direct experience of poverty. Our vision is of a sustainable Scotland free of poverty, with dignity and social and economic justice for all. To help contribute to achieving that vision we seek to work with individuals, organisations and communities to affect change in the distribution of power and resources.
