104 women are killed yearly from domestic abuse. There is an increase likelihood of abuse during England football matches. This campaign, launched during the Euros 2024, aims to raise funds  to support adults and children escaping abuse. All donations to this crucial cause will be matched up to a total of £10,000 and up to £100 per pledge. This means your £25 donation will instantly become £75! Act now to triple your support. 

What is Lightning Reach

Lightning Reach is a financial support portal which enables access to a range of personalised support (e.g. grants, benefits, help with their bills) - all in one place.

Founded during the pandemic, we aim to empower anyone to access support to build financial resilience and wellbeing.

Our platform can be used by a range of organisations to streamline or enhance the support they offer to individuals in (or at risk of) financially vulnerable circumstances.

“The portal is amazing, there is so much information. Without the portal, I would have never had help like this. There was so much support on there no one had told me about, which is fantastic.”
