PRINTSister charities come together in face of growing public need
Elizabeth Finn Care and Turn2us, the charity it founded and funded, have joined together to form a single charity to more effectively help the 13 million people in the UK living in poverty. The joint organisation will benefit from Elizabeth Finn Care's 112 year experience of providing direct grants and support to alleviate poverty and from Turn2us’ unique website, helpline and intermediary services for people in financial need.
Richard Down, Chairman of Elizabeth Finn Care said; "This is a very positive move. The combination of Elizabeth Finn Care's experience and history with the cutting-edge work of Turn2us means we will be even better placed to help people in need. Given the current economic problems, the help and support we will jointly provide is more vital than ever."
