Justice & Peace Scotland stands alongside The Poverty Alliance, The Church of Scotland, The Scottish Episcopal Church and over 200 organisations and faith groups for the Scotland Demands Better March in Edinburgh.

A spokesperson said: "We are uniting on Saturday 25 October to call for fair jobs and wages; decent social security; investment in essentials so that every household can thrive.

"We know that the challenges facing our communities – poverty, low pay, homelessness, lack of resources – are leaving many frustrated and angry. We also know a better way is possible: one that rejects division and the scapegoating of minority groups and instead is rooted in solidarity and hope.

"The march will set off from the Scottish Parliament at 11:00am, travel up the Royal Mile to The Meadows, and conclude with a family-friendly rally of music, speeches, and community spirit

"Look out for the J&P Scotland banner and placards at the meeting point - bring your family, bring your friends, and let's demand better for Scotland.

Meet at the visitors' entrance at the Scottish Parliament Horse Wynd, Edinburgh, EH99 1SP.
