After losing her job due to mental health challenges, Georgia found herself struggling to keep up with household bills while living in a shared ownership property. With both rent and mortgage payments to cover and no income coming in, she became increasingly worried about how she would afford her housing costs and other essentials.
After being referred to Lightning Reach by SNG, Georgia applied for support through the platform and was matched with a national charity. She received £1,000 towards her rent and mortgage, £600 towards food and essential living costs, and funding for a house survey to help her put her home on the market.
The support eased a huge amount of pressure during an incredibly uncertain period. Instead of worrying about how she would keep up with bills or avoid falling into debt, Georgia was able to focus on her wellbeing and take stock of her situation.
"I can't even explain to you the pressure the support took off me. Not having to worry about going into debt, that just really saved me."
