Hey @ScotRail ! Quick question: I accidentally selected tomorrow's date on my Off-Peak Return in the mobile app. Can I just activate and travel with it today or is it now only valid tomorrow? Thanks!

Homelessness is rising and a record-breaking 8,635 children are trapped in temporary accommodation in Scotland. I agree with @shelterscotland that it’s shocking. Join me in emailing @NicolaSturgeon asking her to do something about it >> act.scotland.shelter.org.uk/…

Homelessness is rising in Scotland. Tell the First Minister not to

Tell the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to spearhead an urgent Scottish Housing Emergency Action Plan with a dedicated housing minister to reduce affordable housing need by 2026. Homelessness is on

We're asking that standing charges on Pre Paid meters be scrapped. These charges put people into debt when they use no electricity or gas. When they do put £10 in, it's swallowed by the accumulated debt. Most of the people we support are on this expensive tariff @ofgem
