The Wales 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 Wales, and advising on the impact of our plans on people.

The current members of the MAS Wales forum have agreed to widen their scope to ensure that the Wales relevant recommendations within the UK Financial Capability Strategy are delivered and remain relevant to the unique requirements, funding arrangements and stakeholders within Wales.

The membership is also being widened to ensure the group has appropriate sector wide representation and knowledge to deliver
