Turn2us logo
  • Each year around £14 billion of state aid goes unclaimed and thousands of charities exist that give grants to people in financial need.
  • Despite this money and support being available, 13 million people live in poverty in the UK‚ four million of whom are children. The economic downturn has resulted in many more people struggling and worrying about money.
  • Many people are not aware of and don't know how to access help. More must be done to help people, especially those who find it hardest, to access the money that they desperately need and is available.

Turn2us helps people in financial need access the money available to them, through welfare benefits, charitable grants and other financial help. Turn2us is part of Elizabeth Finn Care, a charity registered in England and Wales: 207812 and Scotland: SC040987.

Case Study Logo

UCU had particular needs to implement a client management system in order to manage their work in supporting members in casework.

The system was to be linked via a hosted, web based secure system, giving instant access to member's cases and ensuring casework was dealt with efficiently. Connect Assist successfully implemented our Business engagement solution as the management system for UCU's casework services. The system was installed in all of the 13 Regional Offices of UCU, plus the London Head Office so regional and national officials could manage enquiries and cases within the system.
