In our Voices series, we share the stories and opinions from our funded organisations who are helping to find solutions to poverty and trauma in Scotland.

We are delighted to announce the launch of our new strategy for 2020-30.

The Head of our Giving Team, Lesley Macdonald, gives an update on our funds ahead of our strategy launch later this month.

As part of Challenge Poverty week, this free event offered a space to consider how talking can and does result in system change.

The latest group in our Voices series is 3D Drumchapel which works with families from pre-birth to early secondary school in the north of Glasgow. It designs services around its key goals: improving family relationships, improving parenting skills, increasing family members' wellbeing, improving child development and maximising volunteers' potential.

The recordings of our three webinars introducing our new funds are now available for all to view.

The Each and Every Child initiative (EEC) has vacancies for a Programme Director and Programme Coordinator. EEC is a new programme of work which aims to tell a compelling story about children and young people in the care system, transforming the current public narrative and mobilising people at all levels in the community to take action to improve their life chances.

The Each and Every Child Initiative is a partnership project between CELCIS, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Life Changes Trust, The Robertson Trust, Scottish Government and Social Work Scotland, and will be hosted by The Robertson Trust. These partners will make up the Management Group. In addition, in order to make sure the voice of lived experience can influence the strategic direction of Each and Every Child, the partners intend to recruit two care experienced individuals to join the Management Group.

The week after the launch of our 2020-30 strategy, and as we mark Challenge Poverty Week, Martin Dorchester, chief executive of Includem, shares his own experiences of poverty and some of the solutions to addressing it.
