Following investigation with Social Services and our Community Safety
Services we have been unable to trace any funding of groups within
the Monmouthshire area associated with male victims of domestic violence.
Monmouthshire County Council is one of many organisations who fund
Women's Aid in Monmouthshire. The service offers five beds to those
fleeing domestic violence. Monmouthshire contributes £145,000
in block funding per annum with additional funding coming from housing
benefit depending on assessment of individual cases. This was in the
region of £45,000 in the last financial year.
Monmouthshire also operates a floating housing support service for
vulnerable people of either sex who are suffering or fleeing from
domestic abuse. This is a generic service with a 56 bed capacity.
People can self refer via the council's one -stop-shops.
Yours sincerely,
Bruce Caswell
