Launch of Challenge Poverty Week 2021 – Monday 4^th October – Sunday 10^th October 2021

Dumfries & Galloway Council are very happy to again be supporting Challenge Poverty Week 2021 – the annual Campaign Awareness Week delivered by The Poverty Alliance throughout Scotland. Challenge Poverty Week is designed to highlight that poverty is a problem we can solve and to showcase solutions we can all get behind. 

We very much hope that we can achieve together all of the following this Challenge Poverty Week 2021.

• To raise a unified voice against poverty and show that we all want to live in a more just and equal Scotland.
• To build awareness and support for solutions to poverty.
• To change the conversation around poverty and help end the stigma of living on a low income.

On each day during Challenge Poverty Week, we will focus on a different theme and these themes each have accompanying key messages. Due to the ongoing Covid 19 Pandemic, all of our information will again be made available online and we encourage everyone to log onto our new Challenge Poverty Week Pages each day to receive all of the help and assistance which will make their lives easier. All of the solutions offered are designed to help you to increase your incomes and reduce your costs which we know if the quickest way to escape from poverty.
