We were delighted to host @churchmoderator at our Highland Perthshire Debt Centre recently. We talked about the impact poverty is having on people in rural communities and how the church can make a difference. When we work together we can #EndPoverty in Scotland.

We are saying goodbye to @charis_scott as she moves onto a new role. Charis has led so much of our work in the public square, on social media and equipping and inspiring others to engage in campaigning and advocacy. We have all loved working with her and wish her every success.
