CITIZENS ADVICE SCOTLAND

We have seen increased demand for energy advice and food insecurity advice. What will the most vulnerable do when temperatures drop and bills keep rising? The uncomfortable truth is without urgent and radical intervention people will freeze or starve. Three things must happen.

1. The proposed increase in the energy price cap to £3,549 should not go ahead. 2. More support targeted at the most vulnerable must be delivered.

3. More support for advice services like CAB is essential. We desperately want to see action which will prevent a winter of debt and destitution. Derek Mitchell, Citizens Advice Scotland CEO
