BOOTS pharmacies offering safe spaces for victims of domestic abuse

/in Services/by

Boots chemists are offering safe spaces within their pharmacies for victims of domestic abuse.

Anyone needing help can ask staff at the counter to use the consultation room, where they will be able to contact local services for help and advice.

It’s been launched by charity, Hestia, following an increase in calls to domestic violence helplines, since lockdown.

Devon’s regional domestic violence and abuse support charity, Splitz, saw a 62 per cent rise in the number of reports to them during April.

If you need help, please call Victim Support on 0300 303 0554. Lines are open 12pm-6pm Monday to Friday. If you need support outside of these times, call Supportline for free on 08 08 16 89 111.

You can now also access Victim Support’s free live chat for 24/7 support.

Supporting People with Deafness and Hearing Loss during Covid 19

/in Health service, Services/by

I hope you’re doing well during these difficult times. As you may be aware, this week is national Deaf Awareness Week, founded by the UK Council on Deafness to help highlight the everyday barriers many people with deafness and/or hearing loss face in the UK today.

For this year’s Deaf Awareness Week, we’ve pulled together a comprehensive guide of how your group can continue to support those around you with deafness, hearing loss, and tinnitus during the Covid-19 lockdown. For a group that already often feel marginalised, social distancing and remote contact can lead to overwhelming feelings of isolation.

Click here to download our comprehensive guide:
Managing Hearing Loss and Tinnitus During Covid 19>

The Guide offers information on a range of topics, including:

  • finding local hearing aid repairs services,
  • important communication tips,
  • hearing loss aware video-calling etiquette, and
  • considering mental health and wellbeing needs.

Please remember that we are available to support you with any queries on how to reduce isolation for those with hearing loss at this time.

I hope you find the pack useful.

Take care and stay safe,

Best wishes
