Organisations that provide support to victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence are invited to apply for grants from the funding that has been awarded.
Police and Crime Commissioner for South Yorkshire Dr Alan Billings said: “Over the past year of restrictions and lock-downs incidents of domestic abuse and sexual violence have been rising. I have now been able to secure further funding for organisations who provide services for victims of these crimes.
“I am pleased that South Yorkshire organisations can access this funding and I invite them to apply for what they need.
“The funding is available for all domestic abuse and sexual violence organisations, including those who offer services for male victims and children.
“We hope to support as many organisations as possible in order to reach anyone who has found themselves a victim.”
My officers will be hosting two Microsoft Teams meetings on Monday February 22nd @ 1.30pm and Tuesday 23rd February @ 9.00am for organisations wanting further information.
