Glasgow City Council Financial Inclusion Strategy

Libraries in Glasgow have generated more than £1.4 million for people on benefits and in debt.

Figures released today by Glasgow Life show 1254 people across the city have gained £1,007,393 in benefits and £396,790 in debts managed.

Library-based money advice services support the city's most vulnerable people in 11 sites across the city. Glasgow City Council’s Financial Inclusion Strategy is delivered by Citizens Advice Bureau and local partners and is designed to offer money advice in a familiar, comfortable setting.

For many, the outreach services offer a lifeline to understand their rights and deal with debt problems.
