In partnership with Granton Information Centre (GIC)

We run an advice service at The Welcoming, offering tailored support for New Scots navigating the UK welfare system.

This fortnightly service provides confidential, one-to-one appointments with a trained advisor from the Granton Information Centre (GIC). Sessions will take place at The Welcoming, alternating Fridays with our regular Scottish Refugee Council (SRC) drop-in.

  • Benefit checks, applications and advice
  • Debt and money advice
  • Representation at benefit tribunals
  • Help applying for charitable grants

This is a great opportunity to speak with an experienced advisor about your situation and get support in a welcoming, respectful environment.

Appointments must be booked in advance. To book, please:

Whether you need support with benefits, budgeting, or accessing emergency funding, we’re here to help you get the advice you need.
