Scotland Demands Better March and Rally - Saturday 25th October 2025

With less than two weeks until the Scotland Demands Better March and Rally on the 25^th October, we are seeking to further our activity.

Volunteer as a Steward

We require stewards to help facilitate the march. Stewards play an important role in welcoming, signposting and helping out attendees on the march. No prior experience is required, and all volunteers will receive opportunities to join online briefing sessions and will also receive a written briefing before the day of the march.
The Poverty Alliance are recruiting a stewarding team that will help create a welcoming, safe and enjoyable atmosphere and you will be supported by fellow stewards, If you are able to volunteer to steward you will need to be available on the 25th October from 9.00am in Edinburgh.

Please complete this short google form before Wednesday 15th October so that the Poverty Alliance can contact you with further information.

Bus and Transportation

The Poverty Alliance have increased their Travel Bursary contribution to cover 100% of a bus or coach to help get you and your community to the march and rally in Edinburgh on the 25th October. Funding decisions are made on a rolling basis each week and are first come first served.

Share the Scotland Demands Better resources with your team, including campaign and communications staff, asking them to make use of the social media assets, videos and suggested posts to schedule regular SDB content through your channels – Scotland Demands Better Resources
Email your own network of supporters, allies and contacts to share the Scotland Demands Better Toolkit to spread the word and help others get ready for this collective march for us all. – Scotland Demands Better Toolkit
