Challenge Poverty Week 2022
Times are hard, and getting harder, for hundreds of thousands of people across the country; a rising flood of living costs is pulling more and more people towards poverty.
South Lanarkshire Community Planning Partnership is taking part in Challenge Poverty Week 2022 and working with our schools, libraries and communities to highlight the support and advice available for South Lanarkshire residents through the current cost of living crisis.
We will have various free events on offer over the week (from digital support sessions to information events) and a host of information about what help is available across our social media channels.
