🤝 We're determined to build a Scotland free from child poverty.

💷 That's why from April 2022, we are doubling the Scottish Child Payment - the only benefit of its kind in the UK - to £20 a week.

👇🏼 Here's how charities, campaigners, academics and experts have reacted. #SNP21
📣 Child Poverty Action Group, @CPAGScotland:

"This is a real lifeline for the families across Scotland who are facing a perfect storm of financial insecurity as the UK cut to Universal Credit bites..."

@CPAGScotland 📣 @PovertyAlliance: "The decision to double the Scottish Child Payment from April is one that will loosen the grip of poverty on the lives of thousands of children in Scotland."

Much has changed since we met virtually in the autumn. For starters, last time I addressed you, I did so outside at the end of November, and I’m pretty sure I got a touch of frostbite.” #SNP21

I’m also addressing you in my new role, as Finance and Economy Secretary.

📢 @NicolaSturgeon: “And absolutely no-one then would have predicted the sheer scale and record-breaking nature of our victory at this election.

We have won 62 constituency seats - a record number and an incredible 85% of the total.” #SNPWin
