Funding allocated in 2009/10

Following announcement of the Fund over 100 agencies submitted applications, and of these, twenty five applicants were successful and allocated funding for a two year period (2007-09).

In 2009 a further £900,000 was allocated to take forward the work of the National Strategy. As discussed at previous Reference Group meetings the priorities identified for future funding were:

• Male survivors
• Survivors living in rural areas
• Prevention of abuse and survivors in a prison setting

services in these priority areas, were invited to submit proposals for the further development of those services. Following evaluation in December 2010 the following organisations were awarded funding:
