Hide AdIt will use a 5500 grant from the Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland to help it fill the gap.
Director Janine Botfield said: "The grant will help us to deliver programmes which will help us meet the increasing need for our services caused by the current economic climate and new and dramatic changes to the benefits environment."
