Challenge Poverty Week

ShmuFM are working with organisations, both local and nationally, as part of Challenge Poverty Week, to highlight the many issues around poverty.

Volunteers from shmuFM have produced a number of shows which will be broadcast throughout the week which focus on local charities, media representations of poverty and the effects of economic inequality.

"Some of our highlights included talking to Professor Danny Dorling about economic inequality, Frances Raynor from The Poverty Alliance and getting audio from charities across Aberdeen to hear about the amazing work they do to challenge poverty every day in the city"

Challenge Poverty Week is a national campaign which is a chance to highlight the injustice of poverty in Scotland and to celebrate the people and projects who are standing against it together.
