  Hi there OBs. Does anyone happen to know of any grant-making bodies which would be able to offer financial assistance to support an OB in very difficult personal circumstances, looking to undertake a Postgraduate Diploma? Happy to give more details of the OB's circumstances by private message. Thank you.

  Sian S. asked:

  I am getting so frustrated and annoyed. Has anybody been able to actually speak to someone from Citizens Advice Shropshire? I have been trying for days now and all I get is there are no advisors available. How are we to get advice when our Bridgnorth branch has been shut down

  

  Sian S. replied:

  Thank you James. Luckily transport isn't an issue for me. It could be for someone less able. I have just spoken to money advice service who have sign posted me to a company called Turn to Us - 0808 802 2000 if anybody else is in need of financial advice. I feel that some of the cuts being made are so wrong - or do they feel that Bridgnorth is affluent enough not to need any advice or guidance - just like they are saying there is no need for food banks - I would like to see some of these fat cats in charge surviving on next to nothing!

  Alan T. asked:

  Hi,my daughter is 19 and is disabled.She has many complex needs including selective mutism.Do you know of anywhere we can apply for funding for a iPad or similar device to enable her to communicate?We live in Kent.Many thanks.Maz

  

  Turn2us replied:

  Hi Maz, I recommend using our free grants search tool at http://grants-search.turn2 us.org.uk/ - our database contains over 3,000 grants which you can search based on your daughter's circumstances and needs. If you have any trouble using the search or would rather than someone do the search for you, you can call our Freephone helpline on 0808 802 2000. Our helpline is open Monday-Friday 9 am-8 pm. I hope this offers you a good place to start and that you find the funding you're looking for. Wishing you the best, Alissa at Turn2 us

  Mark H. asked:

  Can anyone help me please? I have had permission to change my Motability car for one that can take a hoist as my condition has worsened. My problem is that most need about £2000 deposit and cost of hoist. I can afford a Ford Focus Estate with a very cheap hoist but I have to have the back seats down when I use it. I'm not sure if this is breaking the conditions I have been given to allow the change: It has to be practical, I have to test drive it and I have to get it as soon as possible. Please can you tell me anywhere I can get a grant.

  

  Turn2us replied:

  Hello Mark, I would advise that you do a search on our online Grants Search database. You may be eligible to apply for a localised or occupational specific grant. Try searching here: http://www.turn2 us.org.uk/grants_search.aspx
