Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS) has launched a new campaign urging people to get advice if they are worried about money or energy bills ahead of the cost of living crisis putting an extra squeeze on household budgets this autumn.
The ‘Our Advice Adds Up’ initiative is now live and the charity is calling on anyone concerned about their finances to get in touch through its public advice site, interactive self-help tools such as www.moneymap.scot, or through a local Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB).
The charity reports that since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, around one in five people who have come to the Citizens Advice network for help have made some form of gain - with the average financial value being more than £4,400.
This has included direct cash payments and benefits such as free school uniforms, although it’s worth highlighting that most local councils in Scotland are offering clothing grants of between £150 and £300 towards school uniforms and footwear - find out more here.
