Turn2us research reveals low awareness of benefits and grants

Awareness and take-up of welfare benefits and charitable grants among employees on a low income are limited, according to Turn2us commissioned research carried out by the Work Foundation. The research, published on 3 February, showed that participants were confused by the benefits system and perceived charitable support as being available only to the most vulnerable in society.
