The real-life experience of being a Bright Grey plan owner is about much more than the financial payout.

Our Helping Hand service supports your clients emotionally in their time of need, helping them with their recovery and in many cases, changing lives.

You and your clients can find out more about what Helping Hand offers by reading the stories of 5 different Bright Grey plan owners below.

Karen's story

Helping Hand supports plan owners throughout the life of their plan, not just when they claim. When fitness instructor Karen experienced a hemiplegic migraine in January 2008, Helping Hand provided treatment that, according to her therapist, speeded up her recovery by up to 4 years.
