Women’s Aid
A national charity working to end domestic abuse against women and children for over 50 years. Our Specialist Support Teams can refer survivors to Women’s Aid for confidential, personalised support.
Smart Works
A UK charity that helps women transition into employment. Survivors referred by our Specialist Support Teams can access interview and career coaching, along with professional clothing for interviews.
Help create safe and supportive workplaces
The workplace can be one of the few places where people experiencing abuse feel safe. AXA Safe Spaces is a free global online training programme, developed with experts and charities, to help businesses and individuals create supportive environments for colleagues experiencing domestic abuse.
Supporting our colleagues
Here at AXA, our own Domestic Abuse Policy supports colleagues facing difficult situations. They can access confidential support, additional paid leave and referrals to dedicated resources for ongoing support.
Creating a better future for families
We’ve partnered with The For Baby’s Sake Trust – a charity dedicated to breaking the cycle of domestic abuse in families and giving babies the best start to life. Last year, our colleagues donated over 300 items and packed 73 hampers to support local families with everyday baby essentials such as clothes and toys in time for Christmas.
If you need alternative support
Domestic abuse can affect anyone regardless of age or gender.
If you need alternative support, the Women’s Aid website provides other organisations you can get in touch with.
