Last weekend our teams attended Ipswich's One Big Multicultural Festival in Alexandra Park: https://bit.ly/2NyVDwd. It was a great day with lots of visitors and we shared stickers, sweets and info, and got people involved in chatting and bracelet making. If there's a community event in Suffolk that you think any of our services teams would benefit from attending (housing, domestic abuse, substance abuse outreach, volunteering, money advice, community outreach, supported discharge), let us know: 01473 62288 / admin@angliacaretrust.org.uk . . #ipswichentertains #onebigmulticulturalfestival #ipswichevent #outandabout #promotingourservices #sharinginfo #meetingpeople #angliacaretrust #communityinvolvement #communityevent

Our Independent Visitor (IV), volunteers are paired with a young person in care and take time each month to get to know them, doing a fun activity and becoming a person they can talk to and trust outside of 'they system'.

TSB Bank is helping 23 customers a month with an Emergency Flee Fund of up to £500 to escape a dangerous or abusive relationship - for essentials such as food, travel, and accommodation. Available online, via phone or in person, the bank has also updated its ID and Verification process for account opening to ensure that vulnerable people can access banking services without the full documentation: vital for victims of domestic abuse. TSB also offers Safe Spaces in branch and online. Lack of finances is often a barrier to fleeing domestic abuse - many abusive relationships include economic abuse with one partner controlling all of the finances. We're here for you if you're experiencing any type of abuse: 0800 977 5690 / online chat and more info: suffolkdahelpline.org.uk . . #financialabuse #fleeingabuse #emergencyfleefund #tsbbank #safespace #fleeingdomesticabuse #economicabuse #coercivecontrol #abusiverelationship #domesticabusesupport #domesticabuseadvice #domesticabuseaction #suffolkdahelpine #suffolkdomesticabusehelpline

*Spoiler Alert* For those of you who follow ITV soap Emmerdale, you'll be familiar with the domestic violence/coercive control storyline affecting Belle and Tom. Having left her abusive husband, but never having shared with anyone what's been happening, Belle has been told by Tom that he will never give up on her. On Thursday, ITV are airing a special hour-long episode that features Belle in a dream-like state, imagining three different outcomes for herself - her worst fears. The producers, working with charity Refuge, have said that if one person seeks help because of the storyline, they will have made a difference. . . #domesticabuse #coercivecontrol #controllingbehaviour #coercion #emmerdale #refugecharity #domesticabusesupport #domesticabuseadvice #suffolkdomesticabuse #suffolkdahelpline #suffolkdomesticabusehelpline

A new form, adopted by all major UK banks and many others, means that people suffering economic abuse no longer need to contact every financial firm involved in their debts, retelling and reliving the abuse they went through. The Economic Abuse Evidence Form (EAEF) has been created by Money Advice Plus, in conjunction with Surviving Economic Abuse and will simplify the process for the 5.5 million people experiencing financial abuse. This is on top of several banks who provide Safe Spaces for any victims of domestic abuse to be able to get information and contact support services - for more info: https://lnkd.in/dnMyBRb . . #domesticabuse #economicabuse #financialabuse #EAEF #economincabuseevidenceform #safespaces #ukbanks #moneyadvice #suffolkdahelpline #suffolkdomesticabusehelpline #survivingeconomicabuse #moneyadviceplus

Rough sleepers need our help in all weathers. We're great at handing out hats, scarves, gloves, soup and hot drinks and food in freezing temperatures but, have you though about extremes of heat? Things like water, sun cream and hats to protect them from the sun are what's needed this time of year. As well as signposting those sleeping rough to services so that organisations like ours can support them to get health assessments, welfare checks and accommodation. Report the location of rough sleepers via: www.thestreetlink.org.uk and outreach teams like ours can offer help. . . #sleepingrough #homelessness #outreachteams #roughsleepers #housingsservices #homelesssupport #streetlink #alertforhelp #communitysupport #multiservicecharity #supportingroughsleepers
