Following the partnership last year with the Scottish Government to deliver £1m in small grants to members who provide money and debt advice services within Scotland, we are pleased to announce a further £1.3m of funding to Advice in Accessible Settings for 2024-2025.
For the period covering 1 July 2023 to 31 March 2024, 24 member organisations received funding, working with 45 partner organisations, allowing for 67 organisations to be supported by this fund.
From the 1 July 2023 to the 31 March 2024, the funding has supported 4090 clients across 29 out of the 32 Local Authority Areas in Scotland. Over £2.7k of debt is currently being managed as a result of this funding and over £5m Financial Gains have been achieved.
Applications for the 2024/25 fund are open until 5pm on 30th April.
