The organisation offers a free, easy to use website - www.turn2us.og.uk - to help people in financial need, including people with disabilities and older people, to access the money available to them through welfare benefits, charitable grants, and other financial help.
The website features a benefits checker to help people decide if they are receiving all the welfare benefits they are entitled to. Clear and concise information is available on who can claim, how much can be received, and how to apply.
A grants search tool contains the details of 3,500 charitable funds that may be able to provide financial support. The site also provides details of advisers who can provide face - to face support in a local area who can further assist with making applications and claims.
These tools are complimented by new additions to the site, such as information on how going into hospital or a care home can impact benefit entitlement.
Turn2us also provides a free, independent, confidential Helpline (0808 802 2000) for anyone who is unable to access the wesbite.
Turn2us is part of the national charity Elizabeth Finn Care.
