🚨 New analysis alert!

Our most recent polling revealed that nearly half of people in Scotland were feeling economically insecure.

They are concerned about being able to afford the cost of everyday essentials - like food and energy.

This has political consequences 🔽

Closing date Monday for this important position in Dunfermline Foodbank @trussellscot.bsky.social

We stand with Trussell. Every day our neighbours tell us they can't afford essentials. Behind every statistic is a person with something to say & a community listening. Everyone deserves dignity, security & the chance to thrive. Together, we can build a Scotland where no one needs a food bank. #SP26
