[CAB Perth @PerthCAB]

It's volunteers week! We'd like to say a massive thank you to our dedicated and hard working volunteers. Without them, we would not be able to deliver the high level of service that we offer our clients.

While the energy price CAP is going down in July, far too many people still cannot afford their energy bills. @MrsEmmaJacko from our Social Justice team explains why we need long term structural change and the introduction of a social tariff.

[Hamilton CAB @TheHamiltonCAB]

Some of our team participated in a workshop facilitated by @PerthCAB and @helpfirstai to improve the way we gather client feedback. Lots of productive discussion. We're excited to move this work forward!

Our Big Energy Saving Winter #BESW campaign has started ❄️ I love it when we do national campaigns - it really magnifies the power of our citizens advice network and how we can help. Big thanks to @POLLYTOLLEY and her team for pulling everything together 👊🏼

£80 deduction is 15% of standard allowance for a couple 25+. Cost of living crisis is hard enough.
If the deductions won’t be paused automatically then call and ask for them to be reduced or paused #nothingtolosebytrying

[Aberlour Children's Charity @AberlourCCT]

It's shocking that @DWPgovuk is deducting on average £80 per month from families in receipt of UC in Scotland. We are calling on @GOVUK, @scotgov & councils to pause the collection of these debts for 6 months for these families as they struggle with the soaring cost of living.

“I saw a few weeks ago, a lady who had 3 children and a 10 week old baby that was delivered by C-section, who had to go back to work to do shifts as a chambermaid because she couldn't make ends meet”
