Metro Bank Newbury set to host charity event
Metro Bank Newbury will host an event for Project Salama, a charity supporting people in abusive relationships, at its Northbrook Store on Thursday 23 March.
The event will feature talks from the charity’s trustees about the work Project Salama does in the community and will also serve as an informal networking opportunity for local businesses.
Local director at Metro Bank Newbury Ashley Keen said: “Metro Bank recently joined the Safe Space scheme to help victims of domestic abuse. As a community bank, we want to be able to support and help everyone locally and the work that Project Salama do is integral to providing practical, effective support to those in real need.”
Project Salama supports those in abuse relationships by providing emotional and practical support and services to help people who face challenging situations compounded by abuse. The charity helps victims of abuse to understand their rights and guides them towards seeking the help that they need. Salama is Swahili for safe, it also means ‘safety’, ‘security’, or ‘integrity’.
