Easing the Cost of Living Initiative

The cost of living crisis is causing financial hardship and distress for far too many people that collective action is urgently required. Citizens Advice Scotland is looking for organisations to partner with us in promoting vital online financial self-help tools to ease the cost of living pressure for as many people as possible through the Easing the Cost of Living Initiative.  

What is involved?

We are asking willing organisations to promote three online financial self-help tools from CAS to their audiences, customers, clients, followers, members etc through various communication routes be that written digital or hard copy e.g. website, social media, intranet, newsletters, e-bulletins, blogs or magazine. This could be a one-off piece of promotion or, ideally, something more regular. We also have a range of resources that can be used to aide communication to an organisation’s audiences.

What are the Tools? These are Money Map, Council Tax Savings and CAS Public Advice pages. These are all aimed at providing people with key information and signposting to resources that will help improve their financial health and provide critical support to people facing financial difficulty. It is important you have a look at these tools and get a feel for how they can be of use for the audiences you are able to promote these to.

Voice Issue 8

Welcome to the Spring 2022 edition of Voice Magazine. 

As we all return to a more normal working life, we talk to Renfrewshire CAB about the innovative approaches they have taken to fill unfunded roles and to welcome new volunteers into the bureau.  In this issue we also take a look at the range of work taking place across the network to help people in Scotland address the current cost of living crisis. We talk to Edinburgh CAB colleagues about how they approached our recent Debt Happens campaign and we speak to Aberdeen and Fife about how they have built relationships and forged partnerships with their local authorities to the benefit of clients.

We meet some of the new Advice Services Team who explain how they hope to work with the network and we offer up some top tips for getting some local media coverage for your bureaux and promoting the great work you do.
