👵👵 Meet the Gran Squad 👵👵 Today we’ve launched our new ad campaign calling on Scotland’s politicians to take urgent action to end the housing emergency. Front and centre are four incredible grans, armed with sledgehammers, pickaxes and determination, sending a clear message to Scotland's politicians via their Granifesto: It's time to get on with it! ➡️ We need more bricks, less talking, and fewer promises. ➡️ We’ve built big before, and we can do it again. ➡️ Scotland needs a commitment to deliver at least 15,693 homes per year for the next five years just to stop homelessness rising. Stand with the Grans. Sign now 👉 https://lnkd.in/eK6P8C8Z Build Scotland. Build Hope. Build Social Housing. #HousingEmergency #GranSquad #BuildScotland
