hild poverty in Moray is something that cannot be brushed under the carpet. There are families out there who are struggling and the coronavirus has added an extra dimension to the problem. In order to help combat the situation, R-evolution has been set up. This is a new organisation whose aim is to end child poverty. It is a charitable community benefit society delivering training and development to organisations predominantly in the manufacturing, retail and tourism sectors They deliver training such as Food Safety to level 4, manual handling, customer service, management and supervision and mental health. They specialise in coaching and counselling and offer workplace solutions to employers. The most important aspect of this organisation is that 100% of their profit goes into supporting families in Moray. The support comes through Moray School Bank and their coaching and counselling services, supporting people to extricate themselves from the cycle of poverty. As a Community Benefit Society, they are owned and led by the Community and they offer Community Shares to both individuals, groups and businesses. The investment generated will be used to deliver the business and any investment can be withdrawn after 5 years, earning 3% interest.
