£80 could enable a legal adviser to complete an application for legal aid funding

Over 9,500 children in Scotland will wake up on Christmas morning without a place to call home. This is the highest number on record.

Yes, we are outraged too.

Forced to stay in unfit, temporary accommodation, often with damp and mould, that is cramped and unsuitable for a family to live in.

This is not a home.

But how did it come to this?

A lack of affordable homes in Scotland means the housing emergency is spiralling. More people are struggling in temporary accommodation or being forced onto the streets.

My first six weeks living in temporary accommodation left me traumatised for life.

This is unacceptable.

We must act now.

  • help to pay for legal advice to help a family in crisis keep their home

  • advocate for access to secure and permanent homes for everyone
