THIS Autumn Church Action on Poverty and Christian Aid are joining forces to take the campaign for Tax Justice on the road, with a 7 week Tax Justice Bus Tour.

The tour will pass through Scotland at the beginning of October and will be in the Scottish Borders on 1st October, Glasgow on 2nd October, Edinburgh on 3rd October, St Andrews on 4th October and Inverness on 5th October.

The Poverty Truth Commission has been a two-year project bringing together some of Scotland s civic leaders with people at the sharp end of poverty.

We believe that poverty will never be truly addressed until those who experience it firsthand are at the heart of the process.
