Campaigns supported by the Independent Food Aid Network

Stop the Squeeze

The Economic Change Unit's, Stop the Squeeze campaign is a coalition of civil society groups who are calling on the government to tackle the cost of living crisis by guaranteeing affordable energy, boosting incomes, and raising taxes on wealth.

Living Income Campaign

The New Economics Foundation's living income campaign aims to set an income level below which no one can fall. Everyone should afford the basics for a decent quality of life, whether in or out of work. By fixing our broken social security system and creating new universal payments, a Living Income will guarantee a sufficient minimum income for all.

Guarantee Our Essentials

The Trussell Trust and Joseph Rowntree Foudnation's Essentials Guarantee would embed in our social security system the widely supported principle that, at a minimum, Universal Credit should protect people from going without essentials. The UK Government would be required to set the level of the Essentials Guarantee at least annually, based on the recommendation of the independent process.

Make Equality Real - a campaign to end austerity

'Make Equality Real' coalition demands that the Labour Government keep their manifesto promise (p88) to prioritise the effective commencement of section 1 of the Equality Act 2010, and help make austerity unlawful.

Zero Hours Justice

Zero Hours Justice campaigns to end the use of unilaterally-imposed zero hours contracts, provides legal information and advice to zero hours workers and seeks to encourage employers to stop using zero hours contracts or use them in accordance with its strict "Fairer Hours" criteria through its accreditation scheme.

Scrap the Cap

From the Poverty Alliance: "We all want to live in a society where everyone has enough to live a decent and fulfilling life. But people impacted by the benefit cap are currently held back from this. The Scrap the Cap campaign will call on the UK Government to remove the benefit cap, which places a limit on the total amount of benefit payments a person or family can receive. We believe that it is wrong, in principle, to sever the link between the support a person needs and the level of support they receive."

Tax Justice Scotland

We need fairer tax to build a fairer country. Fair tax is about building a society where everyone has a shot at a good life.

Hope Starts Here

#HopeStartsHere is a project from the parents of Changing Realities and Child Poverty Action Group drawing attention to the challenges facing households on a low income. Hear from them on what needs to change for a better future for the 4.3 million children living in poverty.

Free School Meals for All

From the National Education Union. Right now, Free School Meals for every child stop after year two. We know that when children are hungry they can’t learn. Why are children as young as seven denied something so essential to their learning?

We are a movement of educators, parents and concerned community members ready to put this right.

Food for Thought

The STUC Women’s Committee are leading the campaign to expand universal free school meals to all children and young people attending publicly funded schools in Scotland.

Wider Alliances

IFAN is also a member of many alliances.
