16 Days of action against domestic violence

16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence is aimed at businesses that lack an infrastructure to deal with the large-scale problem that is domestic violence. As it stands, companies can do more to aid their employees who endure domestic violence, train those who witness it, and to protect staff as a whole, with the goal of securing safety and mitigating financial loss.

Emergency Access to Loans

If you need urgent cash for any reason, there are many options available. Borrowing from a credit card or over draft may be the cheapest option. If that isn't available for you, you can still get a £100 loan from an FCA approved lender, paid out within 60 minutes. Don't forget to compare interest rates available from your bank.
