Dear Sir
Further to your
request for information in relation to help and support groups funding
and initiatives.
The information
I have is that the Safer Hartlepool Partnership receives funding for
tackling community safety issues in the town. One of the groups supported
by the Partnership is North Tees Women's Aid, who provide help and
suport to predominately to female victims and their children, but
they will provide outreach support to male victims too. In 2006/7
they will receive just under £6000, but this is not Council
funding. You can find information relating to the Safer Hartlepool
Partnership on the council website www.hartlepool.gov.uk,
which provides contact details and related documents. Our Grants Officer
confirms that North Tees Womens Aid do receive funding from the Community
Pool, but it specifically for the S.E.A.R.C.H. project (Sexual Abuse
and Rape Counselling). Victim Support also receives funding from the
Community Pool for their core operation not specifically to support
victims of domestic violence. NTWA used to get funding from the Housing
Division of our Neighbourhood Services Department, before the Council
Housing Stock was transferred to Housing Hartlepool. It is assumed
that Housing Hartlepool now provide that funding.
I am informed
by our Regeneration and Planning Department, via Economic Development,
that there is work with vulnerable people needing employment and skills
and can include the groups you refer to. For example, work with lone
parents would tend to pick up some people falling into the category
and the issue may be identified, though it may be one of a number
of causal factors. However, we are unable to quantify this and the
basis of intervention is not domestic violence.
I am sorry I cannot
be of further assistance, to you. If you are dissatisfied with this
response, I enclose a complaint form and the response will be reviewed
by a senior officer of the Legal Division at the Council.
Yours faithfully
