How citizens advice bureaux are funded

Many people do not realise that each citizens advice bureau in Scotland is an independent, autonomous registered charity.  Each bureau is responsible for raising the money it needs to deliver a service to its local community.

Each bureau is funded slightly differently, from a range of funding streams that include:

  • Local authorities (both core and project) - the main funders of Scottish citizens advice bureaux
  • Charitable trusts and grant-making bodies 
  • Community Health Partnerships
  • The Big Lottery Fund
  • Citizens Advice Scotland's Development Fund
  • Regeneration and strategic development schemes
  • Private sector sources
  • "Friends of the CAB" and other local fundraising activity

If you think that you or your organisation could help fund your local bureau, then contact your local bureau to see what you can do.
