More than 5,000 people are expected to join the Scotland Demands Better march in Edinburgh today. That's 5,000 people asking politicians to make the changes we need to see a society where everyone can thrive and prosper.

Led by The Poverty Alliance, charities and other organisations from across the country – including ourselves in Citizens Advice Scotland – are coming together to push for practical changes that our political leaders can make to support a better Scotland. We want to give people a stable foundation, to build a better future.

The campaign is calling for a real living wage, more affordable homes, better student support, improved public transport, an adequate care service, cheaper energy bills and a fairer social security........
