In the Scottish Government’s Programme for Government 2020-2021, the Carnegie UK Trust and the Affordable Credit Action Group were asked to consider what more could be done to bolster affordable credit provision in Scotland.
Advancing Affordable Credit sets out our 10 recommendations to support the scale up of affordable credit in Scotland. These recommendations were informed by three workshops that we held in autumn 2020, involving over 40 different organisations and input from the Affordable Credit Action Group. It was submitted to the Scottish Government in February 2021.
