The Scottish Greens


The Scottish Greens have secured agreement from the Scottish Government that a Glasgow scheme to reduce child poverty will be rolled-out across Scotland.

The Healthier Wealthier Children project in Glasgow has helped vulnerable families gain an average of over £1,000, with some families gaining as much as £3,400. Rolling this scheme out across Scotland was in the Scottish Green manifesto. There are more than 5,000 financially vulnerable families across the country, who could gain more than £2.3m.
