Aims and activities

Turn2us is a grant-making charity that partners with local communities to design solutions to financial insecurity alongside residents and community organisations. We are in the process of seeking partner organisations to collaborate with in Manchester.

We believe thriving communities are ones where people can live in dignity and get the support they need. We also know that people giving and receiving care are the experts and know what they need. We are in the early stages of developing a programme that seeks to co-design solutions to the cost of care and financial insecurity with community organisations and residents in Manchester.

We are seeking enthusiastic, collaborative funders to partner with on this programme. Co-production and a place-based approach will be at the heart of this initiative, and we can offer our experience of partnering with like-minded funders on previous co-produced programmes to help creating lasting change in Manchester.

How to get involved

We are keen to run this programme in partnership with other funders. If you are interested in collaborating with us, we’d love to hear from you. 

If you would like to know more about this collaboration opportunity or get involved in some way, please contact Abby Meadows at Turn2us.
