The Coronavirus is at the forefront of all our minds. The very real threat of sickness, isolation and services closing requires an urgent response.
People are already struggling to make ends meet, and those who can't afford to miss work will be the hardest hit. With schools closed, families relying on free school meals will need extra help. Energy bills will soar for people who are forced to stay in isolation and self-employed and people on zero hours contracts may be unable to earn for weeks, possibly months.
At Turn2us we're working hard to provide as many people as possible with crisis grants and to make sure that we are able to answer every call to our free helpline.
£30 - could keep our helpline running to meet the increased demand of people facing an immediate loss of income by being unable to work.
£50 - could enable a parent to give their children healthy meals when they can't have free school meals.
£70 - could feed a family or pay an urgent bill following a job loss.
