Briefing: The 2025-26 Scottish Government Budget

It’s time to build a fairer, greener Scotland, free from poverty. We call on the Scottish Government to deliver a just and compassionate budget that puts people first, not only utilising the additional £3.4 billion allocated by the UK Government for bold anti-poverty action, but also ambitiously uses their devolved taxation powers to generate the further revenue needed for urgent investment in our public services and communities.

This briefing sets out the budget priorities that we know are vital to reduce the injustice of poverty in wealthy Scotland. It has been sent to all MSPs in the Scottish Parliament. You can read it in the window below, or download it from here.
