We fund various projects
that help and support groups and services.
In the financial year 2005/06
our Community and Housing department funded two services for women
fleeing domestic violence.
Merton Refuge £107,971.30
Servite Houses –
Shanti Project £43,619.95
Safer Merton has advised
that the main service funded is a domestic violence advocate based
at victim support in Merton. The total expenditure in 2005/06 for
domestic violence was £25,732.75 from the Home Office. £6,028.50
of this funding was spent on the advocate with additional support/set
up costs of £398.94. A Total of £6,427.44 was paid to
Victim Support during 2005/06.
All services that Safer
Merton funds are available regardless of gender, so we are unable
to answer question C as the information is not held.
Regards,
Helen Edwards
