Edinburgh is an affluent city. It is the home to the Scottish Parliament, the former home of the financial sector of Scotland a place where the wealthy send their offspring to be educated. Although Edinburgh has been hit by the recession and of course, the financial sector was crippled by the banking crisis of 2008-2009, it still remains a place that has pockets of great wealth and affluence. Indeed many people have been largely unaffected by the recession in terms of their quality of life.
But if you scratch beneath the surface and look beyond the glitz of Morningside and the New Town, you will start to find a city that has not only great pockets of wealth, but also great pockets of poverty.
There are large housing estates where there are significant problems with drugs, alcohol and substance abuse and where people may feel disenfranchised and almost segregated from Society.
As a result, various welfare rights organisations are very proactive in Edinburgh, working not just to provide debt consolidation advice, but also debt advice for Edinburgh residents as a whole, so that they can manage their financial situation and feel less disenfranchised and less cut off from the rest of Society.
Even Edinburgh residents, who are not resident in some of the poorer housing estates, may still find that they are living in debt, as their circumstances change or they are hit by the recession. So it is not just the ‘poorer’ areas of Edinburgh where debt advice, or debt consolidation advice is required, people need debt advice throughout Edinburgh.
Debt Advice, Edinburgh, is therefore not an irrelevance, but something that is needed throughout this city that on the outside seems incredibly wealthy, but when you peek behind the lace curtains, you find all kinds of debt and financial problems lurking throughout the city!
