Great to see Loose Women presenting this spin-off show focusing on male victim-survivors of domestic abuse, including our friends at ManKind Initiative.
Abuse has no gender or age limit, anyone can be affected and the voices of every victim-survivor deserve equal credit.
Yesterday, we attended UK Finance launch event for their new report 'From Control to Financial Freedom'.
We look forward to working with UK Finance and others in the banking sector to improve outcomes for older victim-survivors of economic abuse.

This week, we've been supporting #DementiaActionWeek
Dementia can make it tough for older victim-survivors to report or even recognize abuse.

Abuse has a detrimental effect on an older person's mental health, leading to depression, isolation, anxiety and more.
That's why we're supporting Mind's #NoMindLeftBehind campaign during #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek , to raise awareness of the support that's out there.
We’re proud to be supporting #DementiaActionWeek .
