Turn2us Tools
Don't forget that you can also use Turn2us tools when working with your clients.
These include:
The Turn2us Grants Search: to find other charitable funds that may be able to share the cost of expensive items that individuals you are helping need
The Turn2us Benefits Calculator can help you check their entitlement to welfare benefits
The Turn2us 'Find an Adviser' tool can help you locate advisers relevant to your clients' particular needs and location.
Turn2us Charity User Group
Turn2us' Charity User Group, involving charities that provide welfare and/or educational grants to individuals listed on our Grants Search, meets every three months in London.
As well as providing opportunities to share information and experiences with colleagues in the charitable fund sector, the group offers guidance and expertise to help with the development of the Turn2us Grants Search and other services.
For more information, email: Sonya Ruparel, Director of Programmes and Partnerships, at: sonia.ruparel@turn2us.org.uk
Turn2us Intermediary Accounts
You may also be interested in having a Turn2us intermediary account. This will enable you to use the intermediary features of the Turn2us Benefits Calculator and Grants Search to help individuals you are supporting to:
- Identify means-tested benefits they may be entitled
- Find other charitable funds to share the cost of expensive items/provide additional support.
Read our Intermediaries User Guide for more information
Register for an intermediaries account (Please note: You have to register with a different email address from the one registered for your charity account, as the system does not allow an email address to have more than one account).

Publicising your charity through Turn2us
Charities often ask Turn2us if we can help them publicise their services in order to increase the reach of the work they do.
We may be able to help you through the following opportunities.
Grants Spotlight (monthly feature)
Turn2us 'Grants Spotlight' is a monthly feature that Turn2us offers to charitable funds listed on our Grants Search database.
The aim is to publicise the work of the charity to Turn2us users.
It is free of charge to charitable funds and charities.

Guest blogs or news stories
We are also always looking for guest blogs from charities, especially if their work goes with our current campaigns or subjects we are focusing on our website.
If you have news about your charity, such as an anniversary, new services or a new campaign, we may be able to feature this in the news section of our website and through social media.
Please note however that we cannot feature fundraising campaigns from other charities.
To discuss this further, please contact us at email: dshelp@turn2us.org.uk
