ASSC Advocacy Fund: Supporting Self-Catering in Scotland 

Protect Scotland’s Self-Catering Sector: Donate to the ASSC Advocacy Fund 

Self-catering businesses are the backbone of Scotland’s tourism industry, contributing almost £1 billion annually to the economy and supporting 29,000 jobs. These businesses sustain local communities, drive visitor spending, and preserve Scotland’s unique hospitality experience. However, rising regulations, restrictive policies, and a negative narrative threaten the very future of this vital sector. 

The ASSC Advocacy Fund is our dedicated initiative to ensure that self-catering businesses are heard, protected, and championed at all levels of government. With your support, we can continue our lobbying efforts, legal challenges, and awareness campaigns to safeguard the industry for generations to come. 

Why Your Donation Matters 

By donating to the Advocacy Fund, you are directly supporting efforts to: 

  • Prepare for the unexpected
  • Challenge unfair regulations through legal actions and judicial reviews
  • Engage policymakers to advocate for fair, sustainable policies
  • Run public relations campaigns to promote the positive impact of self-catering
  • Protect local economies that rely on the self-catering sector

Every pound you donate helps strengthen our voice and protect thousands of livelihoods.
