The Improvement Service (Money Advice Outcomes team) are involved in the delivery of the Scottish Financial Capability Week that will take place from 12-18 November 2018. The aim of the week is to raise awareness about the low levels of financial capability across Scotland, and encourage organisations to work together to address this issue and help people make the most of their money.

In this webinar you will hear from three different areas where a co-ordinated approach to financial capability was taken at a local level last year. We hope that the examples from Renfrewshire, West Lothian and Falkirk will provide useful learning and initiate a conversation around the topic prior to the event in November.
