ActionAid is a leading international charity working in over 45 countries. We work with the poorest women and children in the world, changing their lives for good.

Our local staff provide immediate, hands-on support to women and children living on the margins of survival.

Together we demand action at local, national and international level. We don’t walk away until we’ve achieved lasting change.

Jubilee Scotland is a coalition of faith groups, charities, unions and other civil society groups who campaign together, and as part of the international debt movement, for the total and unconditional cancellation of all unjust and unpayable poor country debt.

We believe that poverty is an artificial and not a natural state. It is perpetuated by institutions such as debt, and dismantling such institutions is necessary to create a more equal world. We have been part of many campaign victories in the past and look forward to being involved in many more.

RoWAN wants to help people reduce their waste. A Scotland that is zero waste is going to be healthier and cleaner. We have participated in a broad range of environmental work. As a Community charity we are going door to door for the Waste Less Inverness project on recycling and working in schools in the RUUp4It project doing composting and gardening.
