Money Advice Service
Worried about money and feeling overwhelmed?
We're here to help. Our friendly advisers will take time to understand your situation and offer personalised advice tailored to you.
We might be able to give you information on how to claim extra benefits, challenge benefit decisions and let you know about other grants and support you can apply for.
How to access our service
We hold weekly drop-in sessions here at the foodbank on Tuesdays 10am-12pm. No appointment required.

If you're referred to us for a food parcel and think that this support would be right for you we can put you in touch with our money adviser.
The difference we've made
- Over half a million pounds secured for people across East Lothian.
- 400+ people supported.
- On average 40% of people who received money advice no longer needed emergency food support.
Our Money Advice Service is delivered in partnership with Edinburgh Food Project Money Advice Service.
