Cost of Living Support Fund: Sense / Turn2Us partnership

Looks interesting:

Sense wanted to do something positive and practical to help and put more resources in the hands of disabled people and families affected by this poverty crisis. We understand that government, alone, cannot make all the difficulties completely go away given the scale of the problems that our country is facing. We must not let the government off the hook; however, it is incumbent on the voluntary sector to try and plug the immediate gaps where possible.

That’s why we’ve created the Sense Cost of Living Support Fund. We’re giving one-off emergency grants of £500 to 1,000 disabled households who are using Sense services and who are facing profound financial hardship. This fund is for disabled children and adults with complex disabilities, who are living with their families, on low incomes and struggling to pay for their essentials. We’ve partnered with the anti-poverty charity Turn2Us to administer the scheme. So far, we’ve distributed over half of the grants, and heard about the enormous difference it’s making in the lives of our families.
