It is a disgrace and a stain on our society that hunger and food insecurity caused by poverty is affecting nearly 14 million people across the UK; including nearly one million in Scotland.
To every survivor, I hope today brings some measure of peace. Not because it can erase the past, nothing ever will, but because your suffering has brought us about lasting change for generations to come.
