Working for a Fairer ScotlandPublication date:March 2016
Overall, 2014/15 has been another impressive year for CAS. We have faced many challenges, but have responded by being more active, delivering more funding and infrastructure support to bureaux and raising our campaigning and media profile. Together with our member bureaux, we believe we make the vital difference as the last line of support for many thousands of people across Scotland in these immensely difficult times.
In 2014/15 the Citizens advice Service helped over 323,000 clients living in Scotland.
Clients gained over £124 million with support from the service.
After taking on the Consumer Futures team in April 2014 CAS has now strengthened its voice in supporting and assisting consumers across Scotland.
