Making a real impact

We’ve already helped over 40,000 people find and apply for support, and facilitated over £4 million in grants.

“The [Lightning Reach] portal made the whole process very straightforward. Filling out the forms was really easy and sending documents was simple, even on my iPhone. It only took about three or four working days too!”
