Mission statement
The Scottish Poverty Information Unit believes that poverty is caused by the unequal distribution of opportunities and resources rather than the lack of resources in society. SPIU aims to assist those committed to eradicating poverty in Scotland through robust policy analysis, quality research and widespread dissemination of poverty information. SPIU seeks to work in partnership with others towards the goal of reducing poverty and extending social justice in 21st Century Scotland.
