Turn2us Edinburgh Trust

A fund offering support to people who are struggling financially in the City of Edinburgh.

Turn2us Edinburgh Trust has been working alongside communities in the city since 2011 to tackle financial insecurity. By partnering with organisations across Edinburgh, we connect people to cash grants, information and practical support through our Edinburgh Together programme.

We strengthen networks across local organisations, public services and communities to reduce stigma and tackle the root causes of financial insecurity.

But our work goes beyond immediate grant-making.

Through our Thriving Futures Fund, we offer plans that combine cash grants with tools to build long-term financial security.

Our investment in the Regenerative Futures Fund aims to test resident-led models of funding that strengthen local networks of support and tackle the deeper causes of financial insecurity.

And our co-production work puts lived experience at the heart of decision-making, guiding our priorities and funding approaches.

Together with partners and residents, we're creating a more connected Edinburgh where everyone can access the support they need to thrive.

Contacting the Edinburgh Trust

Edinburgh Trust grants are not open to direct applications. All applications must be made through one of our Community of Partners organisations, as part of the support they provide. If you are not already receiving support from one of our partners, you will not be able to apply for a grant from us at this time. If you have applied for a grant via our Community of Partners and are looking for an update on your application, please contact the person who made the application for/with you.

If you are looking for financial support for yourself, you can search for grants and other support available to you via the Get Support page.

If you are an organisation, please read more about our Community of Partners.
