Apply for grants
Get the right support for you - the Turn2us Grants Search is a free, simple and confidential tool that can help you access money and essentials based on your situation.
The Turn2us Grants Search is an easy-to-use online tool designed to help match you with the right support. It connects you to over 1,700 UK organisations that offer grants.
A grant is money that doesn’t have to be paid back. It can be cash, products or services given by an organisation to help people who are struggling to afford the essentials.
We know looking for grants online can feel overwhelming. It’s not always easy to know where to look, who can help, or how to apply.
Whether you need help with household items like a fridge, money to cover everyday essentials, or anything else, our Grants Search can help you find a grant that works for you, quickly and confidentially.

As well as maintaining the Turn2us Grants Search, we also run our own grant programme through our Edinburgh Trust to support people struggling to make ends meet in the city.
We don't accept applications directly from individuals looking for support. Instead, we work with partner organisations to apply for grants on someone's behalf.
You can find out more about this grant programme below.
We recommend using the Turn2us Grants Search first, because you may be more likely to find an organisation you might apply to.
