£20m to support victims of domestic abuse
76 projects across the country will receive a share of £20 million government funding to support victims of domestic abuse.
Communities Secretary Sajid Javid has said that the funding will create more than 2,200 new bed spaces in refuges and other specialist accommodation, supporting more than 19,000 victims with somewhere safe to live.
The latest funding has been awarded to local areas that will deliver the priorities outlined in the government’s Priorities for Domestic Abuse Services, which issues what local areas need to put in place to make sure their approach to domestic abuse is collaborative, robust and effective.
Javid said: “Domestic abuse is a devastating crime that all too often remains hidden. That’s why we’re determined that no victim will be turned away from the help they need, at the time they need it. This significant investment shows our clear commitment to supporting and strengthening a resilient network of refuge services across the country, with further specialist support to help victims go on to rebuild their lives.”
