Plus Dane Housing has signed up with financial support service Lightning Reach to help its tenants reduce their bills.
Lightning Reach’s online portal is intended to make it easy for people to find and apply for a wide range of personalised support, including grants, benefits and help with bills.
Plus Dane’s tenants only need to complete a simple online questionnaire to see a range of support they could be eligible for and then apply for multiple sources of financial support directly through Lightning Reach’s portal.
The housing provider is promoting the service to all of its customers, particularly those in need of financial support to help pay for unaffordable or unexpected costs, such as food or utility bills, disability adaptations, replacement furniture or white goods.
Lightning Reach matches users to over 2,500 schemes from charities, support organisations and councils across the UK. It has enabled over £13 million in financial support for its users, with successful applicants saving an average of £1,000.
Emma Sneyd, head of social impact, Plus Dane, said, “We’re excited to be working with Lightning Reach to help our tenants save money and as we head into winter, we want to offer the most useful support possible.”
