Edinburgh Poverty Commission - A Just Capital: 2025 Call to Action

Join us for the official launch of the Edinburgh Poverty Commission's Interim Report!

This exciting event will take place at the Nicolson Square Venues, where we will share our findings and calls to action to tackle poverty in our city over the next 5 years.

You'll also have the opportunity to meet the commission members and citizens who have shaped this work, and to help us build on what is already a vibrant movement to end poverty in Edinburgh.

We look forward to seeing you then!

Jim McCormick and Linda Craik - Co-chairs, Edinburgh Poverty Commission

Background

In 2020 we published our landmark report ‘A Just Capital’ setting a ten year mission, and clear calls to action for the steps needed to eradicate poverty in Scotland’s capital city.

Five years into that mission we have reconvened, in a newly invigorated collaboration with the End Poverty Edinburgh citizen’s group, to comment on what has changed in this city since the publication of our first report, what has worked best for people who live in poverty, and to set out a practical pathway for the next five years.
