We're a little behind with showing our support for The Poverty Alliance 's 'Challenge Poverty Week' as we've been so busy supporting clients across the county!

However, it's more important than ever to highlight the ever growing issues facing our local communities. Cost of living has soared with too many of us being forced to choose between heating and eating, it's not sustainable! 🚫

We are here to help as much as we can and at national level through our affiliation with Citizens Advice Scotland we are petitioning for systemic change at every junction.

We have a broad range of services you can access (such as Energy, Debt, Benefits, Over 60s and more) which can find out about here: https://musselburghcab.cas.org.uk/

If for any reason we can't assist directly with your enquiry we will let you know who should be able to.

Remember our advice is always free, confidential and impartial! 📞
