Across Scotland, thousands of people visit a Citizens Advice Bureau each week.
Their cases inform the work Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS) does and build a body of evidence which allows us to campaign on a range of issues, from faulty used cars to benefit sanctions. CAS carries out national campaigns across Scotland, with a particular focus on local action through the CAB network.

Our current and upcoming campaigns
On Monday 4th November, we are launching our campaign with a focus on young people and their employment rights. Our campaign outputs will feed into our longer term engagement on young people’s rights at work, seeking to get a fair deal for young people. We want to gather the experience of young people and raise awareness of their rights at work, empowering them to take action on issues and increasing their public confidence and awareness.
The campaign will run for two weeks, during that time we will be working with a range of national partners such as NUS Scotland, Young Scot, Scottish Trades Union Congress and the Poverty Alliance. We will be supporting the Living Wage Foundation’s ‘Living Wage Week’, which launches on Monday 11th November, an ideal time to spotlight and highlight the need for fair pay in Scotland.
The Scams Awareness 2019 campaign took place in June 2019.
