General Question Time
Cost of Living Support (Glasgow Anniesland)
We recognise the pressure on household budgets, which is why we are working with key partners, including Glasgow City Council, to tackle child poverty through transforming the way in which public services are delivered. Our benefit take-up strategy, along with investment of more than £16 million in welfare, debt and income maximisation advice services, helps us to ensure that people throughout Scotland can access all the financial support to which they are entitled.
Targeted local support in Glasgow includes £400,000 for the fairer futures partnership and a range of local advice projects, supported by our advice in accessible settings fund.
