We’re Scotland’s Grans, and we’ve seen it all.
People struggling with sky-high rents, families experiencing homelessness—and the difference a safe home makes. But what have we had from politicians? Promises. But promises don’t keep the rain out. Homes do.
So here’s the message we need you to send politicians: now’s the time to get building.
In May next year, Scotland will have an election, and political parties are drafting their manifesto pledges right now.
That's why it's so important that we go to them, now, with a very simple message: Build Scotland. Build hope. Build social housing.
The number is clear: We must build at least 15,693 new social homes every year of the next parliament. Now we need your help to make Scotland’s party leaders listen. [1]
By emailing party leaders to tell them that they must prioritise building social homes, you are helping to pile on the pressure for urgent action to be taken to tackle this housing emergency.
Add your voice, send your message, and let’s get Scotland building again.
Write to Scotland’s party leaders TODAY.
