Lightning Reach and YES Energy Solutions partner to support vulnerable Yorkshire households this winter

Winter Warmth Network logo

Lightning Reach is pleased to announce a new partnership with YES Energy Solutions, launching a pilot referral scheme this winter to provide critical support to vulnerable households as part of our Winter Warmth Network. This partnership enables more residents to access comprehensive support, including debt relief of up to £500, energy saving packs full of tips and gadgets to reduce bills, funding for home insulation measures, and guidance on energy-saving technology like solar panels.


Lightning Reach offers a streamlined pathway to personalised financial assistance in one accessible place, helping users navigate the support available to them more effectively. This partnership with YES Energy Solutions allows us to expand our reach in the Yorkshire region, providing vital resources to residents as they face rising energy costs and a colder season ahead.

Rhiannon Sheridan, Chief Operating Officer of Lightning Reach, commented: “We’re thrilled to be working with YES Energy Solutions at such a pivotal time. With so many households struggling to manage increased energy costs, this collaboration will offer practical, tailored support where it’s needed most. Together, we’re committed to helping more people access the resources they need to stay warm and secure this winter.”


Laura Winning, Advice Manager at YES Energy Solutions, added: “We’re so excited to work with Lightning Reach on this pilot in the Yorkshire region. With the colder weather approaching, and the recent budget announcement - we’re bracing for a lot of calls this winter. With this new referral pathway, we will be helping households who use Lightning Reach’s service with support towards their energy use and costs. By working together, we can help even more residents get access to support that is available to them”.


We invite all Yorkshire-based support agencies to direct their clients to Lightning Reach to access Yes Energy’s support and explore tailored support options designed to meet individual needs. For agencies supporting digitally excluded clients who may struggle to apply independently, our new support worker access allows professionals to apply on their behalf, ensuring that no one misses out on the assistance they need this winter.
