Online Grant Application

The Online Grants Application allows those to seek support that would rather apply online and manage the process directly, allowing applicants to provide the needed information and evidence to support their application themselves. This programme is designed to allow us to assist people who need help in a quick and easy way with everyday essentials.

This application is open to anyone who is eligible for our support struggling to pay for items and services they need. And you can apply online using the below link. We aim to assess applications within 5 days of submission.

Please note we cannot provide any ongoing mobility, rent & deposits and debt support via this route. 

If you need support with these categories please contact us via  0808 802 8080 or  [email protected].

Alternatively, you can get support via our online chat.

Apply for the Online Grant Application using the Lightning Reach portal.

This platform is provided by our trusted partner, Lightning Reach, a social impact start-up which uses secure technology to make the application process as quick and safe as possible for you.
