Dumfries & Galloway's Participatory Budget is focussed on tackling poverty by supporting people and families, who are in or about to fall into poverty, to 'make ends meet' in relation to household or living costs, whilst also tackling the causes and effects of child poverty https://www.dumgal.gov.uk/article/17630/Participatory-budgeting
