Scotland Demands Better March

The Poverty Alliance has announced the date of a national march and rally for its new campaign, Scotland Demands Better.

The march is scheduled to take place on Saturday 25 October 2025 in Edinburgh, aiming to showcase the campaign’s strength and unify its members’ calls for change, with further details to be confirmed closer to the time.

Scotland Demands Better is designed to highlight the practical ideas of civil society organisations across Scotland to overcome the injustice of poverty, and the resources needed to make change. Its demands include:

1. “We demand better jobs for everyone who needs one with fair conditions and wages that pay the bills.
2. We demand better investment for life’s essentials: like affordable homes, good public transport, a thriving natural environment and strong public services.
3. We demand better social security so that all of us have a foundation for the future.”
