Financial support workshops

All of our workshops are free and open to families raising disabled children and young people

Do a grant search

We deliver grants to families raising a disabled or seriously ill child, on a low income. You can use the Turn2us grant search tool to find local and national grants that you may be eligible to apply for.

Do a benefit calculation

Millions of people across the UK are missing out on benefits they are entitled to receive. Life costs more for families raising a disabled child. Find out if you could access additional support.

How to get free debt advice

Finding yourself in debt can feel overwhelming but there are organisations that can help you when you need them. See if you could be in debt and where to get help.

Do a budget plan

A budget is a list of all the money you receive, and your total household spending, each month. You can use a budget to work out where your money goes, and look at where you can start saving money.

Do a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) check

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) can help with extra living costs if you have both a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability and difficulty doing certain everyday tasks or getting around because of your condition.
