☕ Online Coffee Morning: TSB Flee Free Fund and Understanding Domestic Abuse

Join us for our October Coffee Morning, where we will welcome our guest speaker, Simon Peleszok, Responsible Business Manager at TSB Bank.

Simon will discuss:

• What domestic abuse is and the different forms it can take.
• How domestic abuse is used as a form of economic control.
• The important role banks can play in supporting those affected.

And TSB’s vital Emergency Flee Fund, an industry-leading scheme that provides non-repayable crisis grants of up to £500. These funds are designed to help individuals escaping domestic or economic abuse cover immediate essentials like emergency accommodation, travel, clothing, and food.

This informative session will explain exactly what the fund covers and how staff and learners can safely access this urgent intervention—even if the person in need does not bank with TSB

💻When: Friday 23 October 10am to 11am
