Challenge Poverty Week

We are excited to announce that this year, Scottish Mentoring Network are supporting Challenge Poverty Week!

We know that poverty affects many of our members mentees and mentors, and so we wanted to use this opportunity to highlight the great work the projects do to help mitigate it.

During this week, The Poverty Alliance have distributed guidance, along with the themes that each day will have:

  • General poverty
  • Public services
  • Social security
  • Employment
  • Gender
  • Race
  • Disability

You can find out more about the campaign at their website here: https://www.challengepoverty.net/ . Here they have a whole host of advice on how to get involved, whether it’s running events to posting on social media, they’ve got you covered!

If your organisation is thinking about getting involved in this campaign, then we would love to share your work! Whether it’s posting a blog written by our members, or sharing your activities on our Facebook and Twitter pages, we would love to help promote it.
