Money Matters Advice Service

Emergency support

If you are in financial crisis or finding it hard to manage your money, please contact us as soon as you can using the details on this page.

You may be able to get help through a Scottish Welfare Fund Crisis grant, a Budgeting loan, or Universal Credit. We can talk through what support you may be entitled to and help you apply.  

We can also offer advice on:

  • managing debt
  • accessing food banks
  • getting emergency energy vouchers

If you need urgent credit for a prepayment gas or electricity meter, you should contact your energy supplier directly. More information is available on our Energy arrears pages.

You can also visit our Money is not the only problem online resource, which has information on financial support and help with wellbeing.
