Help bring warmth and joy this festive season
As temperatures drop, thousands of families across the UK face the harsh reality of winter without the essentials that make a house a home. At Turn2us, we believe that every family deserves the warmth of a safe, comfortable space and the ability to share a meal together. But with the rising cost of living, even basic needs like heating, food, and household essentials are becoming harder to afford. Together, we can help families stay warm, keep food on the table, and ensure their lights stay on this winter.
Could you donate today and help a family buy a table and chairs so they can enjoy the simple pleasure of spending time together this winter?
Matt’s Story
This winter, you can help families like Matt’s.
My name is Matt, and I’m a recently trained teacher living with my wife and two young children. Despite having a “good job", soaring living costs left us struggling to provide the basics. We were forced to make tough choices - like whether to keep our home warm or put food on the table. As winter approached in 2022, Christmas looked less like a time of joy and more like a time of worry.
Thankfully, with Turn2us’s help, we made it through. By accessing their services including the Turn2us Benefits Calculator and Grants Search, we gained breathing space financially and the confidence to cope with the hardship., Now, two years on, both my wife and I are in full-time permanent jobs, and while we no longer rely on Universal Credit, the rising costs of living still weigh heavily on us. Without Turn2us, our situation could have been much worse. I’m sharing my story with you because Turn2us needs your help to support other families like mine this winter.
Could you donate today to give families like mine across the UK a chance to stay warm, sleep soundly, and experience the joy of a safe and comfortable home this festive season?
Millions of families in the UK are in similar situations, with over 14.5 million people living in poverty. Last winter, Turn2us received more than 2,500 requests for support for basic household essentials and, thanks to supporters like you we provided vital grants to pay for those.

Every donation you make helps ensure more families can face the season with warmth, security, and peace of mind.
