Kids can’t wait for new income supplement: we must act sooner than 2022.

More than 70 leaders and organisations and academics from Scottish society have joined together to call on the First Minister to speed up the introduction of a new income supplement to tackle child poverty.

Women’s groups, poverty campaigners, faith leaders, academics, children’s charities, trade unions, and industry bodies have written a joint letter to the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, pushing for the government to commit to bringing forward the supplement on the grounds that “kids can’t wait”.
