Hustings on Tuesday 20 April 2010 6.00-8.00pm, St
Cuthbert's Church, Lothian Road Edinburgh EH1 2EP
You are invited to attend an Election Hustings on Child Poverty
and Inequality, in advance of the 6 May UK General Election.
One in four children in Scotland live in poverty. With the
expenses scandal and the economic crisis grabbing the headlines how
do we make sure that the most vulnerable members of our society are
not left behind?
If you believe that our society is shamed by our failure to end
child poverty and you want to know how different parties are
proposing to tackle this problem come along and ask their
parliamentary candidates.
The event will be hosted by the Church of Scotland and Chaired
by the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland,
the Rt Rev William Hewitt. Candidates from different parties will
explain their policies in relation to child poverty and inequality,
there will then an opportunity for members of the audience to ask
the candidates questions.
This event is open to the general public, is free of charge and
not ticketed, however it would help us in our planning if you can
tell us if you plan to attend by emailing info@actsparl.org
