Delivering impact through cross-sector support

Venue: The Royal Air Force Club (The Sovereign’s Room), 128 Piccadilly, London W1J 7PY

Lightning Reach and the Association of Charitable Organisations are hosting a cross-sector event to reflect on the impact made on those struggling financially and explore ways we can collaboratively drive impact in difficult times. We’ll bring together leaders across the charity, corporate, local authority, social housing and advice sectors - alongside individuals with lived experience of financial hardship - to share learnings, exchange experiences and discuss ideas to make a real difference across the system.

The occasion also celebrates the fantastic milestone of £10m+ awarded to individuals via the Lightning Reach portal and over 100,000 registered users.

The event will involve panel discussions and interactive breakout sessions (2-5pm), as well as time for informal networking from 5pm. Speakers include the following:

• Paul Maynard MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Minister for Pensions)
• Sara Weller CBE, Chair, Money and Pensions Service and Non-Executive Director, BT and Virgin Money
• Steve Baynes, Head of Social Policy & Grant Giving at The Royal British Legion
• Chris Flynn, Director of Housing Needs at Lambeth Council
• Aruna Bhalla, Head of Partnerships & Open Banking at TSB
• …and speakers to be announced

Join them to share learnings and experiences in delivering support to financially vulnerable individuals, hear from individuals with lived experience and discuss ideas to make a difference. Register your interest here to receive an invite (please note spaces are limited).
