Turn2us is a great organization for charities that don’t know where to begin when it comes to fundraising. It sets out to facilitate and assist the charities’ access the financial resources that are available to them. Turn2us offers a free website that was designed to help in exactly this realm: to “find appropriate sources of financial support, quickly and easily, based on your particular needs and circumstances.”

Currently, one of the charities’ Turn2us is working to assist is the Gardening for Disabled Trust which is “an entirely voluntary organization offering grants to people with physical or mental disabilities living anywhere in the UK to help them to continue to garden.” One individual – known here as Barry – wrote a thank you letter to the charitable organization, detailing his experiences, supplementing his words with photos of his garden. He wrote, “Thank you, for providing the means to create a garden which is available to the wheelchair. We have had so much joy from planning the plants to grow, gardening and watching everything happening in the new beds. It has overwhelmed us and we are really thrilled.” For most of his life, Barry has been dealing with the “side effects of n inoperable brain tumor.”
The fact that Turn2us is able to make things easier for such worthy organizations, means that these charities are able to focus more on the work at hand – helping these needy individuals get a better life, as in the case of Barry and many others.
