Dear Mr Mortimer,
I am pleased to provide the following information about the groups
the Council funds who work, wholly or in part, with victims of domestic
violence:
1. The Council
supports Women's Aid, a group which assists women and children who
are the victims of domestic violence through the Council's community
grants scheme. The amount of that funding in 2005/06 was £5600.
2. The Council
supports Victim Support which assists all victims of crime through
the Council's community grants scheme. The amount of that funding
in 2005/06 was £5120.

Charnwood Community Safety Partnership. The Partnerships Domestic
Violence Forum has recognised that domestic violence is an issue which
affects men as well as women. The amount of funding in 2005/06 was
£4091.
