RISE UP!
RISE UP! is a new campaign from The Mothers’
Union. It aims to raise awareness and
understanding about domestic abuse.
In support of this campaign, and in line with
Immanuel’s own policy on domestic abuse, you will see a poster on the noticeboard with the local helpline number. Please raise awareness of this.
Take Five is a national campaign that offers straight-forward and impartial advice to help people protect themselves from financial fraud. Fraudsters will use many tactics to obtain money or financial information from us. Be extremely wary of unsolicited phone calls claiming that there is an issue with your bank account or requesting assistance with an ongoing bank or police investigation.
Remember not to share your PIN, bank card, or withdraw money or buy items on behalf of a stranger, no matter who they say they are. For more information visit takefive-stopfraud.org.uk
