A simpler path to support

When Kyra was struggling with over £5,000 of energy debt, picking up the phone to ask for help felt overwhelming. Through Lightning Reach, she was able to apply online and access support from multiple organisations on one platform.

Kyra received a £1,100 grant towards her energy debt and energy-saving measures that helped cut her monthly energy bills in half, saving around £1,000 a year.

"The energy debt got to a point where I thought if I don't sort it out now, it's not going to get fixed. I didn't want things to get worse for my children."

Map of support activity across the UK

Reaching more people, in more places

Behind every point on this map is someone who found support through Lightning Reach. Together with our partners, we’re making it easier for people all across the UK to access the help they need, when they need it.

What’s next?

By 2028, we aim to help 1 million people access support through a more connected, accessible and efficient support system.

The UK has over 2,500 grants, benefits and bill support schemes, yet too many people miss out because the process of finding help is fragmented and difficult to navigate. We’re building a future where support is easier to find, simpler to access and more efficient for organisations to deliver.
