Challenge Poverty Week 2025
Langstane Housing Association are supporting #ChallengePovertyWeek which runs from Monday 6 - Sunday 12 October, 2025.
What is Challenge Poverty Week?
Challenge Poverty Week is an annual event which is coordinated and delivered by The Poverty Alliance. It is an opportunity to raise our voices together against the injustice of poverty and unite with hundreds of organisations across Scotland in calling for a more just and equal society.
Challenge Poverty Week is a real, practical opportunity to build a stronger movement against poverty and demonstrate our values of justice and compassion. At a time when life is becoming tougher for many people, it is vital that we build support for ending poverty.
Welfare Advice
We want to highlight our commitment to combating poverty and the valuable services we provide to our tenants.
One of the crucial services we offer is Welfare Advice, designed to support our tenants in managing their finances.
Our Tenant Welfare Advisor, David Campbell, is here to help you navigate any financial queries and offer advice tailored to your needs.
If you'd like to reach out to David or learn more about the resources available to you, please watch our tenant welfare advice video.
