| CPAG in Scotland campaigns and policy CampaigningWe seek out every opportunity to raise the profile of child poverty in the media, the political arena, the public consciousness and relevant professional contexts.
Campaign for free school meals Scotland has amongst the worst child poverty rates and health inequalities in Europe. The campaign for free school meals, in which CPAG in Scotland takes a lead role, was launched in 2001 to persuade the Scottish Parliament to introduce universal free school meals and therefore ensure that every child in Scotland has at least one decent nutritious meal a day.

SCoWR was set up in 2006 to highlight the concerns of this diverse coalition of organisations in Scotland to the UK Government’s Welfare Reform proposals. To date over forty organisations in Scotland, including Oxfam, Barnardos, Children 1st, the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations, Unison, the STUC and Scottish church groups have signed up.
