WALK OF LIFE

Thousands on march to tackle poverty

- BY JENNIFER HYLAND

THOUSANDS of protesters are set to take to the streets of the capital to demand an end to in-work poverty, increased investment in public services and improved social security.

The Scotland Demands Better march in Edinburgh on October 25 will demand more from all politicians, at Holyrood and Westminster.

Along with antipoverty campaigners, trade unions, civic groups, environmental activists, faith groups and charities, the rally - expected to attract 5000 people - will meet at Holyrood before heading through the city.
