Why Turn2us and Royal London are working together
Unexpected life shocks, such as redundancy, unexpected illness or losing a loved one, can often have a big impact on finances and pull people into financial hardship.
Research shows that one in three UK adults (17.6 million people) say they wouldn’t be able to manage without their income, or cope financially in the event of a life shock.
Since March 2020, an additional 4.2 million people said they don’t have enough money to last them to the end of the month.
This strategic partnership will enhance our existing impact through awareness raising, campaigning, sharing insight and expertise and providing vital funding.
Together, we want to build a society where everyone has the tools, support and resilience they need to recover from a life shock.
