Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) in Edinburgh is the latest local organisation to be supported by Leith-based credit union Castle Community Bank.
The community bank is passionate about making a difference and already supports a number of foodbanks and community organisations, with plans to support more as the company grows.
Chief Executive for Castle Community Bank, Adrian Sargent, said: “Community wealth building works and we are committed to supporting our neighbours. Citizens Advice Bureau is a crucial service for people in financial difficulty, and I’m delighted we are able to commit to supporting them with essential funding when times are extremely hard for families and individuals in Scotland and across the UK. CAB are also able to support our members wherever they are based, not only those in Edinburgh.”
CAB Edinburgh Chief Executive Benjamin Napier said: “The support from Castle Community Bank is gratefully welcomed at a time of year when finances can cause a lot of strain on households. It’s never been more important for Citizens Advice Bureau to exist. We’ll use this support to help more people in Edinburgh with financial difficulties, benefit eligibility and other everyday issues.”
