There are a number of publicly funded organisations which produce newsletters etc. which touch on social inclusion issues without covering them in particular.Scottish Homes started producing a quarterly news publication Action for Social Justice in Scotland in June 2000. Three issues were produced in 2000 at a total cost of £15,435.
