Worrying but predictable news from our friends @IFAN_UK that demand for food bank parcels has rocketed in Scotland: dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/… Trend will only continue unless governments at Westminster & Holyrood ensure everyone has access to the £ they need to get by.

💷We're pleased that an increase in the Scottish Welfare Fund was announced as part of today's #ScotBudget. ➡️With rising numbers of people needing emergency cash for food, further action is needed to ensure everyone in Scotland at crisis point can access this lifeline.

The Scottish Welfare Fund was a lifeline for Alex. Yet while the numbers of people being swept into crisis has soared, the Fund has seen a real terms cut since 2013. Next week’s #ScotBudget must put this right for the sake of those struggling to stay afloat.

📈New Scottish Government stats show Scottish Welfare Fund Crisis Grant applications have increased by 16 percent in a year. 💷Inadequate and insecure incomes are dragging people into poverty, and a strengthened SWF would ensure those at crisis point get the help they need.
