Question
To ask the Scottish Government what support it provides to citizens advice bureaux.
Answer
The Scottish Government recognises the role advice services play across Scottish society, in particular, to support the most vulnerable in our communities. That is why the Scottish Government is providing funding of over £2.6 million this year to support a wide range of projects delivered by citizens advice bureaux and Citizens Advice Scotland in areas such as welfare, health care and financial management.
