Grants, furniture and household goods

Please see our public facing grants page for details of:

• the turn2us grants search tool - This matches families with approx. 1400 grants based on your answers to a few questions about their circumstances (not personally identifying)
• the Hope4U service - who can advise pregnant women and young families on eligibility to Sure Start and Healthy Start grants. Hope4U can also check entitlement to welfare benefits (many charitable funds won't consider an application for a grant if the family you're working with hasn't applied for statutory benefits to which they are entitled)

These charitable funds will only accept grant applications from practitioners on behalf of a family they are working with and will consider making a grant as part of a wider package of support being offered to a family.
