Scotland’s Economic Abuse Helpline – The Purple Phone – will be available across Scotland!
Launched as a pilot for Glasgow in September 2025. Two months later, Financially Included, East Renfrewshire VAWP, ER Council and ERHSCP worked in partnership to expand the pilot to East Renfrewshire. Now, in May 2026, The Purple Phone is being opened to women across Scotland and expanded to include a webchat function on our website.
From Shetland to Selkirk, women can contact The Purple Phone to seek advice, support and guidance relating to economic abuse. Our specialist money advisors will provide confidential advice and guidance, support and validation, as well as signposting to relevant services. In Glasgow and East Renfrewshire, direct referrals into specialist services can be made and we’re working with further local authorities to expand this scope.
The Purple Phone can be reached on 0343 841 0132 or via webchat at www.financiallyincluded.co.uk and is open Monday 16:00-19:00, Wednesday 10:00-13:00, Thursday 13:00-16:00 and Friday 10:00-13:00. Translators are available on request.
We’re holding a short information session on what this means for you and your local area. You can register here.
