Alison Taylor, Director of Turn2us, said: “Turn2us exists to help the 13.5 million people living in poverty in the UK to access the welfare benefits and charitable grants available to them. We are delighted to be working with CEBF to embed Turn2us online tools and resources in their website and enable more people in financial need to source free, good quality information and support to maximise their income.” ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert.
