Lightning Reach is your trusted gateway to support – a secure online portal that helps people connect with all kinds of help in one place.
Whether you’re looking for financial support, debt advice, wellbeing help, or other types of assistance, Lightning Reach makes it easy to find what’s available and how to apply.
It’s free to use for individuals looking for help for themselves.
How it works
Create a profile and tell us a little about your situation.
You’ll then see a list of Support Matches based on your circumstances.
Some organisations let you apply directly through Lightning Reach, while others take you to their website to complete the application.
A few organisations might need a referral from a support worker or someone helping you. If you don't currently have anyone helping you with this, your local Citizens Advice or Age UK branch should be able to help.
