“These are terrible statistics but it is likely they are even worse.'
There are over 2500 more children living in relative poverty in Glasgow than before the Covid-19 pandemic, a new report has confirmed.
She said: “There is an increase in the number of children living in poverty of 2500 compared to pre-pandemic which takes us to just under 28,000 children living in poverty.“We have a number of services that are providing better access to financial advice and we work to support families in crisis.” Speaking about the figures, IJB member John Matthews, said: “This report is concerning. We are about trying to improve these situations and to get that look of excitement on the look of every child.”
