On 7 September Pedal for Scotland will take place - the annual charity cycle from Glasgow to Edinburgh. Thousands of people will be raising money for a variety of causes as they cycle the 47 mile route.

This year a small team (you can join us if you like!) will be be taking part to raise money for the Scottish Living Wage Campaign. The SLWC was launched by the Poverty Alliance, the STUC and Church of Scotland in 2007. Low pay is now one of the main causes of poverty in Scotland. Since the campaign was launched thousands of workers in Scotland has benefited from the living wage. However there is still much to be done - around 400,000 workers in Scotland are low paid. 

By supporting the Scottish Living Wage Campaign you will help us reach more of these workers. One of the campaign's priorities is to do more campaigning at grassroots level. Your support will help us do all the things that will make this happen - producing leaflets and campaign materials, keeping our website update, visiting groups across Scotland. 

To give either use this page - any money raised will be used by the Poverty Alliance for the Scottish Living Wage Campaign. Alternatively you can give directly to the campaign here www.justgiving.com/Scottish-Living-Wage-Campaign 

Thanks for your support!
