PKAVS Carers Hub are partners with Turn2Us and have access to apply for direct grant help for carers through the:

• Turn2Us Elizabeth Finn Fund

The Elizabeth Finn Fund has been giving direct grants and support for over a century to people living in financial difficulty who have a professional background and meet our grant-giving criteria.

Turn2Us give grants to people who hold or have formerly held occupations requiring a certain level of responsibility and education, or whose partners have done so. They can award grants to people from over 120 different professions whose work history includes employment in a role which requires a degree; NVQ level 4 or above; or equivalent.

The grants Turn2Us give help make a difference to an individual or family’s life and improve their living conditions.

• Turn2Us Response Fund

This Fund gives targeted support to assist individuals to meet the challenges posed by a life-changing event which has happened in the last 12 months and help them to improve their situation. Grants are provided for specific needs which are essential to the financial stability, wellbeing, and independence of the individual/family to help them to maintain a normal daily living.
