Poverty in Highland: Experiences of the Third Sector - Report now Available
January 2026
Thank you to all our members who helped to gather evidence for this report, which we are delighted to publish now in its final form. The report addresses ongoing challenges in the Highlands, where complex benefits systems, centralised service design, digital exclusion, and stigma contribute to poverty and hinder access to support. As public services withdraw, third sector organisations face growing responsibilities but struggle with short-term funding, administrative pressures, and recruitment issues, jeopardising their sustainability.
The report can be read by clicking the button below.
