April at a Glance: Reaching More People, Together
Posted on 10th June 2025
Transparent by Numbers: April Edition
Each month, we share how our grant-making is progressing so you can see the difference we’re making together. April was our biggest month yet, and that’s down to strong partnership working, especially with Stonewater colleagues.
Thanks to great customer referrals and shared commitment, more people are getting the help they need, often with their application approved first time.
Here’s how we did in April:
| 65 individual grants approved | Our highest monthly total this year, up from 61 in March |
| 98% of applications approved | Made possible by the continued support of Stonewater colleagues |
| £1,011 average grant value | Showing the level of help we’re providing to each person |
| 100% of planned training delivered | Every session for Stonewater colleagues went ahead |
| 100% satisfaction | Colleagues told us they were fully satisfied with Longleigh’s training |
| 100% customer satisfaction | Customers told us they were satisfied with Longleigh’s services |
| £2,145 average financial gain per person | Clean Slate Training and Employment hit its highest financial result to date! |
| 16 people referred for emotional wellbeing support | Delivered by Kaleidoscope Group, beating our monthly target of 10, again |
| 56 referrals for financial support | A 21% increase from March, also delivered by Clean Slate |
A Word from Our Individual Grants Team
Ingrid and Tess, who review every application that comes in, wanted to share this message:
“A big thank you to all the Stonewater staff who send in applications so clearly and with all the right evidence. It really helps us move things along quickly.
We also really appreciate the support you give when we have questions. Thank you for being so helpful!”
Behind each number is a real person getting practical or emotional support when they need it most. Thanks to this joined up way of working, more customers are receiving decisions faster and more smoothly. That means less waiting, more support, and better outcomes.
