We were delighted to meet over 100 employers at our event, kindly hosted by Ashurst, discussing how employers can leverage their commitment to tackling domestic abuse beyond their own organisations – spreading positive change towards their customers, sectors, supply chains, and communities. Above all, we are amazed and inspired by the incredible work already being done.
- A bank providing victim-survivors of domestic abuse with a flee fund to escape their abuser.
- A local authority establishing Safe Spaces every 100 metres, and fund taxi marshalling for vulnerable people travelling alone.
- A football club hosting healthy relationship courses for their young academy participants.
- A large regional employer urging businesses in their supply chain to implement a domestic abuse response (and leading by example).
- A law firm providing pro-bono legal support to victim-survivors of domestic abuse to help them secure protection orders.
A fire service safety-checking homes where victim-survivors may be at risk of arson attacks from their abuser. Organisations shared the many innovative and inspiring ways they are expanding their domestic abuse response beyond their employees – reaching their communities, customers, supply chains, and sectors.
And finally, congratulations to TSB Bank, who received their Everyone’s Business Platinum Award, presented by Patrick Ryan, the CEO Hestia Charity.
