We use cookies on the Scope website to show us how many people our content is reaching.

It means we can:

  • See what content is most useful to people
  • Target more help where it’s needed
  • Show relevant advertisements for our own services, no-one else’s

It also means we can work more closely with partners in government, local councils and other public bodies, targeting support where it’s needed most and offering a better range of services.

It’s your choice whether to allow them or not, but you’re helping us do more if you opt in. Thank you.
