React Plus Funding

The New ReAct Plus Funding

The ReAct funding has now become ReAct Plus. This has opened ReAct funding not just for redundant individuals but to a vast variety of cases now being able to be funded under ReAct. ReAct is a Welsh Government funding available through Careers Wales.

To qualify for ReAct+ you must be aged 20 or over, live in Wales, and have the right to live and work in the UK. You must also meet one of the following criteria:

  • Formal redundancy notice – you are aged 20+ and have been officially notified that your role is at risk of redundancy
  • Recently made redundant – you are aged 20+ and your job ended due to redundancy within the last 6 months
  • Ex‑offender status – you are aged 20+ and are an ex‑offender or currently serving a community sentence

Under the new guidelines if you are in any of the above groups you would be eligible for up to £1,500 to put towards training. You would also be eligible for funding for your new employer.

What Support Can You Get Through ReAct+?

ReAct+ offers personalised support designed to help you return to work as quickly as possible. All assistance is tailored to your circumstances and the skills you need. You can access a skills grant of up to £1,500 to help you gain the training required for your next job. In addition, ReAct+ can provide:

  • Childcare and caring support – up to £2,100 to help cover childcare or other caring responsibilities while you’re in training
  • Additional training costs – up to £200 towards extra expenses such as travel or accommodation

How ReAct+ Can Support Your Next Employer

ReAct+ can also help your prospective employer bring you into their team. If you are aged 20 or over, disabled (including physical impairments, neurodivergence, or mental health conditions), and meet one of the following criteria, an employer may be able to apply for wage support:

  • Formal redundancy notice – you are under official notice of redundancy
  • Recently redundant – you are within 6 months of your redundancy date
  • Ex‑offender eligibility – you are an ex‑offender or currently serving a community sentence

You must be resident in Wales both at the date of redundancy and when applying for funding. You must also not have worked for 6 weeks or more since your redundancy, and you cannot start work with the new employer until the support has been approved.

If you meet the criteria, your new employer could receive:

  • Up to £4,000 towards your wages during your first year in the role

To qualify, the job must:

  • Be at least 16 hours per week
  • Pay at least the national minimum wage
