Money worries can make people feel isolated and alone. But the reality is that many people are finding it hard to make ends meet. Things are not as they used to be, and lots more people need some extra support.
That’s why we are partnering with the Scottish Government Money Support Scotland campaign, to make sure everyone with money worries gets the advice and support
they need.
A new website called moneysupport.scot has advice on things like which benefits to apply for, how to manage problem debt and where to access affordable credit.
The first step towards overcoming money worries starts with finding the right support. That’s why we are recommending this website to anyone experiencing financial
difficulties.
From one-off payments to help with school uniforms, to ongoing support for living costs, Money Support Scotland can help identify the benefits that you may be
entitled to.
Problem debt is another common source of financial anxiety. And missing a payment can quickly lead to spiralling costs. Money Support Scotland has links to trusted
sources that offer support and debt advice.
It can often be difficult to afford sudden expenses like car repairs too. Money Support Scotland provides information about affordable credit from responsible lenders.
The website is supported by a national marketing campaign to raise awareness of the services available for those experiencing financial worries. Advice and guidance
is available now at moneysupport.scot.
