New cost of living campaign could see households access £4,400 cash boost

Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS) has unveiled a new campaign encouraging people to get help if they are anxious about money or energy bills amid the worsening cost of living crisis.

The Our Advice Adds Up campaign is now active, with CAS calling on households worried about their financial situation to reach out via either its public advice website, through interactive self-help tools including www.moneymap.scot, or by contacting the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB).

According to CAS, since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, approximately 20 per cent of those who have reached out to the Citizens Advice network for help have benefitted financially — with the average boost being over £4,400.
