Lightning Reach - helping people get urgent financial assistance

Social impact fintech start-up Lightning Reach is revolutionising access to financial assistance during the UK’s cost-of-living crisis.

Its user-friendly digital portal streamlines the application process by matching individuals to a personalised range of support—including charitable grants and local schemes—via a single online profile.

Larkin was retained to help them launch and secured an exclusive in The Guardian and tech and finance trade media.

Since launch, Lightning Reach has gone on to win several awards and distributed over £20 million in support to help more than 200,000 people.
