United KingdomAbout the Turn2Us Grants Search UK
Turn2us is a national charity providing practical help to people who are struggling financially across the United Kingdom. Through its online tools, the organization aims to help individuals make ends meet by locating charitable grants and other forms of financial assistance from hundreds of external grant-giving organizations.
The Turn2us Grants Search database lists not-for-profit organizations that offer financial assistance directly or indirectly to people experiencing hardship. It also includes utility providers such as water, gas, and electric companies offering public support schemes without any commercial obligation for the recipient.
The platform features specialized funding arms such as the Turn2us Edinburgh Trust, which has operated in Edinburgh since 2011 to tackle financial insecurity. Programmes like the Edinburgh Together initiative and the Thriving Futures Fund combine cash grants with tools for building long-term financial security through a network of local community partners.
To use the Grants Search, users answer a series of categorization questions so the system can match them with relevant funds based on their specific situation, location, and needs. Charitable organizations can also register free of charge to list their own funds and reach eligible recipients through the platform.
