A rising number of poor families in Glasgow are being forced to live on £115 per week below the poverty line on average, a report shows.
There are now 27,995 children living in relative poverty in the city, which is 2,510 more than before the pandemic. That is equivalent to more than a quarter of kids.
Among efforts to reduce child poverty, Glasgow City council has put in financial inclusion advisers at secondary schools and set up a new advice service Glasgow Helps, which helps families access food and fuel top ups among other schemes.
