At Saffron we are dedicated to supporting our members' mental health by providing a compassionate service and promoting awareness around mental well-being. On this page is listed some tailored local resources for support.
Ways we can help
We have private rooms available in our branches, so you'll have quiet spaces to talk to us. You can always bring someone with you to help and support you, if it's helpful.
We can give you extra time to make decisions or offer you the chance to take paperwork away to read in your own time if you’d like time to read it over. We can also signpost you to some external support, just let us know how we can support you.
