Challenge Poverty Week

Location: In Person

This is a free event

The first Challenge Poverty Week was launched by the Poverty Alliance in 2013.

We wanted to highlight the injustice of poverty in Scotland, and to show that collective action based on justice and compassion can create solutions.

The week is an opportunity for you to raise your voice against poverty and unite with others in calling for a just and equal Scotland.

Each year, hundreds of organisations in Scotland do just that, including elected representative, charities and NGOs, local authorities, faith groups, businesses, schools and colleges, trade unions, professional bodies and more.

Challenge Poverty Week 2026 will run from 5-11 October and is an opportunity to highlight the good work going on across Scotland with a range of partners to tackling poverty and inequality. More information on events happening that week can be found here.
