About Opportunity
Looking for a New Year's resolution - have your say!
Consumer Focus Scotland would like to hear from people who are interested in consumer issues such as energy, the environment, health, food, housing, water, postal services, digital technology and public services. Our Consumer Network is a group of home-based volunteers who act as our ‘eyes and ears’ across the country - participating in our research programme and helping to identify local consumer issues.
