Last week, GIC was proud to join advice organisations from across Edinburgh at a Civic Reception held at the City Chambers.

For over 40 years, GIC has played a highly valuable role in providing free, impartial advice and helping Edinburgh residents access the support they need.

The reception was a wonderful opportunity to recognise the dedication of advice workers and the difference our services make within communities across the city.
