The impact of the Coronavirus outbreak will affect everyone across all communities. The self-employed, small business owners, those working in the hardest hit sectors and vulnerable groups in our society will bear the brunt of the fallout from the outbreak. Already, thousands of people are facing financial difficulties through no fault of their own. For those without enough money and support to fall back on, the pandemic could have a life-changing impact.
Turn2us helps people in financial need gain access to welfare benefits, charitable grants and other financial help. They also award their own grants.
The Elizabeth Finn Fund gives direct grants and support to people from over 120 occupations who are living in financial difficulty. These grants assist people and families who have recently faced a life changing event and are in need of a financial grant to assist them to address their new situation and help them to thrive.
The Turn2us Response Fund supports people when they need it
most - when they are coping with a life-changing event, such as reduced income through redundancy; reduction in working hours due to ill-health; unsafe, insecure or inappropriate housing arrangements; and other unexpected occurrences which impact severely on an individual's quality of life.
The Fund gives targeted support to assist individuals to
meet the challenges posed by a life-changing event which has happened in the last 12 months and helps them to improve their situation. Grants are provided for specific needs which are essential to the financial stability, wellbeing and independence of the individual/family to help them to maintain normal daily living.
With 1 in 5 people living in poverty in the UK, Turn2us are responding to more people than ever before. A little help when it's needed can make a huge difference, transforming the lives and prospects of individuals and families struggling financially. Help make that difference for many more people.
