Scotland Forum
The Scotland Forum was set up in 2012, to act in an advisory capacity to the Money Advice Service, informing the organisation on key issues facing people in Scotland, and advising on the impact of our plans on people.
The current members of the Scotland forum have agreed to widen their scope to ensure that the recommendations within the Financial Capability Strategy for Scotland and the UK are delivered and remain relevant to the unique requirements, funding arrangements and stakeholders within Scotland.
