The Glasgow-based Poverty Truth Commission has received £16,000 from a charity appeal.
The organisation, which works towards overcoming poverty in Scotland, believes poverty will only be truly addressed when those who experience it first-hand are at the heart of the process.
It was given the cash by the STV Appeal and the money raised will be distributed to provide practical help like food and warm clothes.
