Subject: FOI request
Your request has been passed
to me for attention -
Through the EFDC Grant
Aid we have a 'long-term' 3 year agreement with Victim Support - West
essex Division and this May they received £3,690 (initial amount
of £3,500 plus inflation). The current agreement is to be reviewed
during this financial year to recommence during the next financial
year.
I am informed that through
EFDC Crime Reduction Section we also provide funding. Unfortunately
the Officer in charge of that section has recently left the employ
of EFDC and despite looking through the accounts that are accessible
I can find no direct payment to Victim Support - it may be given to
another body who then directs payment. I will try and find out more.
As an aside Women's Aid
are supported in terms of rape alarms, booklets etc, which comes from
the CR a/c's. WA have also submitted a request for Grant Aid funding
but after a period of time have not submitted a completed application
form. They have to show, on the form, direct support to EFDC residents
and maybe they cannot meet this criteria.
Hope this helps.
