HSBC are making a positive new change in all of their UK branches.
The banking firm are offering a "safe space" for people experiencing domestic abuse - meaning victims can now walk into any HSBC branch to seek support and advice safely. Each branch will provide an area for people to phone a helpline, contact a support service or talk to a friend or family member.
Approximately 4,000 HSBC employees have received specialist training as part of the scheme. The move is part of domestic abuse charity Hestia’s "UK says no more" campaign, which was initially launched in pharmacies and aims to increase the availability of specialist support for victims of domestic abuse.
