We are a not for profit organisation working to promote the benefit of a fair and compassionate rights-based social security system which meets the needs of the people of Scotland. In addition to this, we're working in partnership with other organisations and agencies to lobby the government for policy change to positively improve the lives of often isolated or forgotten groups of people in Scotland. Our caseworkers offer a range of services to support disabled people, those who are chronically ill and the carers who support them. 

We campaign for the creation of a system which puts the needs of claimants and carers at its centre, and a system which fully engages with claimants and carers through the design, implementation and the continual review of social security provision.
