An organisation which offers advice to people struggling on the breadline in Stirling have reported nine times more requests for support with energy issues in the last three years.
Stirling Citizens Advice Bureau revealed the statistics as it launched its new ‘cost of living guide’ - aiming to provide those in need with helpful information and access to resources, including crisis grants and securing assistance with Universal Credit.
The guide follows on research carried out by Stirling CAB which highlights the scale of the problems being faced by those contacting the service, with the data compiled by the organisation’s volunteers in its social work team.
