Turn2us
Turn2us is a national charity offering support and information to those facing financial shocks and challenges the systems and perceptions that cause financial insecurity.
Turn2us' vision is that everyone in the UK has the financial security to thrive, not just survive.
The charity wants to see a society where everyone has the right to support so they can be secure financially. This means having enough money to comfortably cover your monthly expenses, save for your future and, most crucially, recover from financial shocks caused by life events.
Turn2us can see every day how the right support at the right time can transform lives. It can mean having enough money to put food on the table and pay the bills.
The Turn2us Benefits Calculator and Turn2us Grants Search offers people the chance to find what support they are entitled to, and its services are being continuously improved and updated to meet people's needs.
It listens to individuals and families who have in-depth experience of financial insecurity and uses its expertise to design services that address their immediate financial needs and the root causes of poverty.
In 2023:
- Turn2us made grants to 3,486 people in financial need.
- Over 750k searches were made using the Turn2us Grants Search.
- Over 2.7 million benefits calculations were completed.
Support from players of People's Postcode Lottery is part of making this all possible.
