CARL SARGEANT AM WELCOMES FUNDING TO TACKLE DOMESTIC ABUSE
Carl Sargeant, AM for Alyn and Deeside, has welcomed today’s announcement by the Assembly Government of funding worth over £1.5 million to support organisations tackling domestic and sexual abuse.The announcement coincides with International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.Mr Sargeant said: “Today’s funding will help ensure that domestic abuse organisations across Wales can grow and continue to improve the help and support that they are able to offer to people affected by domestic and sexual abuse.“The announcement is also timely because it comes as we enter the festive season when, sadly, incidents of domestic violence tend to increase.“I am pleased that the funding announced today will benefit organisations right across Wales, including the North Wales Women Centre which will receive £300,000 for a new One-Stop Shop, and the North Wales Rape and Sexual Abuse Counselling Support Centre will receive £19,450 for vital new equipment.”
