File photo dated 31/07/18 of a smart meter next to an energy bill. Citizens Advice Scotland has warned of a funding crisis and called for more support as demand for its services peaked this year. Clients were said to be at "crisis point" with a record 100,000 pieces of advice issued in one month alone, while staff across the Citizens Advice Network faced their own concerns over job stability. Demand peaked in March, with the highest numbers of visitors in nearly four years, but the charity said staff faced "draining" workloads and concerns over short-term contracts.
