A home decoration service for mums fleeing abuse and financial advisers in schools are two council projects to reduce child poverty in Glasgow.
Financial inclusion support officers have been helping families in 29 secondaries, 19 primaries and one additional support learning school with debt, benefits and money advice.
Another anti-poverty programme sees mums who have suffered abuse get carpets, curtains and other home essentials. More than 40 ‘welcome places’ have been set up in the city with libraries offering free tea and coffee and other buildings being used to provide a refuge from cold homes. A report on the strategic plan performance will be presented to the operational performance and delivery scrutiny committee next week.
