A welcome announcement today by Citizens Advice Bureau, Westhill. The Money Advice Service has launched in Aberdeenshire thanks to our local CAB. The service is free, impartial and confidential and is aimed at anyone who wants to understand more about their money and feel more in control of their finances. Eveline Crossan, manager of the Westhill and District Citizens Advice Bureau said “The Money Advice Service aims to help people who want to control their money better or whose circumstances have changed or may change.

“Retirement, ill health, further education, starting work, starting a family, concerns about owing money or buying or renting a home, budgeting to save, providing a personal pension are examples of the range of money matters the adviser will deal with”.

The Westhill bureau will offer one-to-one sessions initially and then develop a network across Aberdeenshire where the money adviser can meet customers.
