Citizens Advice Bureaux serve all Scottish people and are of vital importance to the most disadvantaged.

Do you agree that they should be funded to ensure people can get the help and support that they need?

I had to make use of CAB a few years back now but I do not know what I would have done without them. This service should be fully funded by government.

The task of the public institutions,in a democratic nation, is to remove the obstacles of an economic and social nature which, by de facto limiting freedom and equality, prevent the full development of the human person and the effective participation of all workers in the political, economic and social organisation of the nation

As someone who had to make use of CAB services recently, it is a valuable service and should be fully funded by the Scottish Government.

Many years ago I had reason to use the services of the Citizens Advice Bureaux. The help I received was excellent, for which I was very grateful. With the present state of affairs in this country due to the coronavirus, any reduction in the services of the C.A.B. is unacceptable and should be resisted. I would urge the Scottish Government to do all they can to assist this valuable service and provide funding which is so urgently required.

I fully support this petition. This is a vital service and even more so now during the pandemic. CAB needs to be supported, so that they in turn can support our most vulnerable Scottish citizens.

Cits Advice Bureaux service is absolutely essential and saves money as well as lives.

I fully support this petitionand also am off the opinion that this service should be fully funded by the SG. The support that they provide the community is exceptional and without it many people would be without the benefits they are entitled to claim. They also work alongside other third sector agencies thus ensuring that the needs of the individual are met.

CAB are an essential public service. Their work needs to be supported and properly funded.
