HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has pledged £2m a year for the next four years to support people needing help with their taxes, benefits and tax credits.

The department has awarded 17 grants to 10 Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) organisations working across the UK.

In this funding round HMRC is seeking to build on achievements across the sector in previous years, increasing both the reach and numbers of vulnerable people that the VCS will be able to support.

Amongst the agencies securing funding are Gingerbread, Child Poverty Action Group, Advice NI, Citizens Advice, RNIB and Tax Aid.
