A strong social security system gives us all a foundation for the future. We call on the next Scottish Government to strengthen family social security and increase the Scottish Child Payment to £55 a week. Because our children demand better.

People need a secure foundation to build a better future. That's why a #MinimumIncomeGuarantee for Scotland is at the heart of our Manifesto for the #Holyrood26 elections. MSPs can start by strengthening our existing social security.
