Challenge Poverty Week 2023

Challenge Poverty Week was launched by the Poverty Alliance in 2013, with many of the themes of CPW underpinning the work of those across the sector. The Poverty Alliance has highlighted five themes for the week. This year we are hosting an in-person panel discussion focused on the topic of adequate incomes.

Our Adequate Incomes: Panel Discussion will take place on the 4th October in Glasgow city centre. You can find more information about tickets via our Eventbrite listing via the link below.
